Model Theory of Operator Algebras Iii: Elementary Equivalence and Ii1 Factors
نویسنده
چکیده
We use continuous model theory to obtain several results concerning isomorphisms and embeddings between II1 factors and their ultrapowers. Among other things, we show that for any II1 factor M, there are continuum many nonisomorphic separable II1 factors that have an ultrapower isomorphic to an ultrapower of M. We also give a poor man’s resolution of the Connes Embedding Problem: there exists a separable II1 factor such that all II1 factors embed into one of its ultrapowers.

Games and Elementary Equivalence of Ii1 Factors
We use Ehrenfeucht-Fräıssé games to give a local geometric criterion for elementary equivalence of II1 factors. We obtain as a corollary that two II1 factors are elementarily equivalent if and only their unitary groups are elementarily equivalent as Z4-metric spaces.
متن کاملEnforceable Operator Algebras
We adapt the classical notion of building models by games to the setting of continuous model theory. As an application, we study to what extent canonical operator algebras are enforceable models. For example, we show that the hyperfinite II1 factor is an enforceable II1 factor if and only if the Connes Embedding Problem has a positive solution. We also show that the set of continuous functions ...
متن کاملDeformation and rigidity for group actions and von Neumann algebras
We present some recent rigidity results for von Neumann algebras (II1 factors) and equivalence relations arising from measure preserving actions of groups on probability spaces which satisfy a combination of deformation and rigidity properties. This includes strong rigidity results for factors with calculation of their fundamental group and cocycle superrigidity for actions with applications to...
متن کاملThe hochschild cohomology problem for von neumann algebras.
In 1967, when Kadison and Ringrose began the development of continuous cohomology theory for operator algebras, they conjectured that the cohomology groups Hn(M, M), n >/= 1, for a von Neumann algebra M, should all be zero. This conjecture, which has important structural implications for von Neumann algebras, has been solved affirmatively in the type I, IIinfinity, and III cases, leaving open o...
متن کاملStrong Rigidity of Ii1 Factors Coming from Malleable Actions of Weakly Rigid Groups, I
We consider cross-product II1 factors M = N⋊σG, with G discrete ICC groups that contain infinite normal subgroups with the relative property (T) and σ : G → AutN trace preserving actions of G on finite von Neumann algebras N that are “malleable” and mixing. Examples are the weighted Bernoulli and Bogoliubov shifts. We prove a rigidity result, showing the uniqueness of the position of L(G) insid...
