  Several perspectives that can be opened by studying the electroexcitation of
the delta via parity-violating electron scattering from nuclei are examined,
working within the context of the relativistic Fermi gas model. A strong
enhancement of the left-right asymmetry in the delta sector compared with that
in the quasi-elastic regime is found and the potential to find clear signatures
for the axial-vector contributions of the nucleon-to-delta transition to the
asymmetry identified at specific low momentum transfer kinematics.
Possibilities of probing the deformation of the delta are also explored, and
using both the proton and nuclei as targets, the abilitiy to study the
asymmetry on neutrons is studied.
