An Introduction To Continuous Model Theory

Operator Algebras 2023-03-08 v1 Logic

Abstract

We present an introduction to modern continuous model theory with an emphasis on its interactions with topics covered in this volume such as CC^*-algebras and von Neumann algebras. The role of ultraproducts is highlighted and expositions of definable sets, imaginaries, quantifier elimination and separable categoricity are included.
