Abstract: In the paper, we prove an analogue of the Kato-Rosenblum theorem in a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Let $mathcalM$ be a countably decomposable, properly infinite, semifinite von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space $mathcalH$ and let $au$ be a faithful normal semifinite tracial weight of $mathcalM$. Suppose that $H$ and $H_1$ are self-adjoint operators affiliated with $mathcalM$. We show that if $H-H_1$ is in $mathcalMcap{L}^{1}left(mathcalM,auight)$, then the $norm$ absolutely continuous parts of $H$ and $H_1$ are unitarily equivalent. This implies that the real part of a non-normal hyponormal operator in $mathcalM$ is not a perturbation by $mathcalMcap{L}^{1}left(mathcalM,auight)$ of a diagonal operator. Meanwhile, for $nge2$ and $1leqp<n$, by modifying Voiculescu's invariant we give examples of commuting $n$-tuples of self-adjoint operators in $mathcalM$ that are not arbitrarily small perturbations of commuting diagonal operators modulo $mathcalMcap{L}^{p}left(mathcalM,auight)$.
