Proper asymptotic unitary equivalence in \KK-theory and projection lifting from the corona algebra

In this paper we generalize the notion of essential codimension of Brown, Douglas, and Fillmore using \KK-theory and prove a result which asserts that there is a unitary of the form `identity + compact' which gives the unitary equivalence of two projections if the `essential codimension' of two projections vanishes for certain C\sp*-algebras employing the proper asymptotic unitary equivalence of \KK-theory found by M. Dadarlat and S. Eilers. We also apply our result to study the projections in the corona algebra of $C(X)\otimes B$ where $X$ is $[0,1]$, $(-\infty, \infty)$, $[0,\infty)$, and $[0,1]/\{0,1\}$.Comment: 14 pages, to appear in JF

The tracial Rokhlin property for an inclusion of unital C∗C^*-algebras

We introduce and study a notion of Rokhlin property for an inclusion of unital $C^*$-algebras which could have no projections like the Jiang-Su algebra. We also introduce a notion of approximate representability and show a duality between them. We demonstrate the importance of these notions by showing the permanence of the tracial $\mathcal{Z}$-absorbingness and the strict comparison property.Comment: This is our third joint paper. 25 page

Tracially sequentially-split ∗{}^*-homomorphisms between C∗C^*-algebras

We define a tracial analogue of the sequentially split $*$-homomorphism between $C^*$-algebras of Barlak and Szab\'{o} and show that several important approximation properties related to the classification theory of $C^*$-algebras pass from the target algebra to the domain algebra. Then we show that the tracial Rokhlin property of the finite group $G$ action on a $C^*$-algebra $A$ gives rise to a tracial version of sequentially split $*$-homomorphism from $A\rtimes_{\alpha}G$ to $M_{|G|}(A)$ and the tracial Rokhlin property of an inclusion $C^*$-algebras $A\subset P$ with a conditional expectation $E:A \to P$ of a finite Watatani index generates a tracial version of sequentially split map. By doing so, we provide a unified approach to permanence properties related to tracial Rokhlin property of operator algebras.Comment: A serious flaw in Definition 2.6 has been notified to the authors. We fix our definition and accordingly change statements in subsequent propositions and theorems. Moreover, a gap in the proof of Theorem 2.25 is fixed. We note our appreciation for such helpful comments in Acknowledgements section. Some typos are also caught. We hope that it is fina

Parity-violating πNN\pi NN coupling constant from the flavor-conserving effective weak chiral Lagrangian

We investigate the parity-violating pion-nucleon-nucleon coupling constant $h^1_{\pi NN}$, based on the chiral quark-soliton model. We employ an effective weak Hamiltonian that takes into account the next-to-leading order corrections from QCD to the weak interactions at the quark level. Using the gradient expansion, we derive the leading-order effective weak chiral Lagrangian with the low-energy constants determined. The effective weak chiral Lagrangian is incorporated in the chiral quark-soliton model to calculate the parity-violating $\pi NN$ constant $h^1_{\pi NN}$. We obtain a value of about $10^{-7}$ at the leading order. The corrections from the next-to-leading order reduce the leading order result by about 20~\%.Comment: 12 page
