Asymptotic unitary equivalence in C^-algebras

Publication date 17 November 2015

Abstract: Let

C = C (X)

be the unital

C^{*}

-algebra of all continuous functions on a finite CW complex

X

and let

A

be a unital simple

C^{*}

-algebra with tracial rank at most one. We show that two unital monomorphisms

p h i, p s i : C o A

are asymptotically unitarily equivalent, i.e., there exists a continuous path of unitaries

u_{t} : t i n [0, 1) s u b s e t A

such that

lim_{t o 1} u_t^*phi(f)u_t=psi(f) { m for all} in C(X),

if and only if �eq [phi]&=&[psi] { m in} KK(C, A), aucirc phi&=& aucirc psi { m for all} auin T(A), and phi^{dag}&=&psi^{dag}, eneq where

T (A)

is the simplex of tracial states of

A

and

p h i^{d a g}, p s i^{d a g} : U (M_{i n f t y} (C)) / D U (M_{i n f t y} (C)) o

U (M_{i n f t y} (A)) / D U (M_{i n f t y} (A))

are induced homomorphisms and where

U (M_{i n f t y} (A))

and

U (M_{i n f t y} (C))

are groups of union of unitary groups of

M_{k} (A)

and

M_{k} (C)

for all integer

k g e 1,

D U (M_{i n f t y} (A))

and

D U (M_{i n f t y} (C))

are commutator subgroups of

U (M_{i n f t y} (A))

and

U (M_{i n f t y} (C)),

respectively. We actually prove a more general result for the case that

C

is any general unital AH-algebra.
