Let C be a unital AH-algebra and let A be a unital separable simple C * -algebra with tracial rank no more than one. Suppose that φ, ψ : C → A are two unital monomorphisms. With some restriction on C, we show that φ and ψ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only ifwhere φ ‡ and ψ ‡ are homomorphisms from U (C)/CU (C) → U (A)/CU (A) induced by φ and ψ, respectively, and where CU (C) and CU (A) are closures of the subgroup generated by commutators of the unitary groups of C and B.A more practical but approximate version of the above is also presented.
