On the theories of McDuff's II$_1$ factors

Logic 2016-02-05 v1 Operator Algebras

Abstract

Recently, Boutonnet, Chifan, and Ioana proved that McDuff's family of continuum many pairwise nonisomorphic separable II1_1 factors are in fact pairwise non-elementarily equivalent by proving that any ultrapowers of two distinct members of the family are nonsiomorphic. We use Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse games to provide an upper bound on the quantifier-depth of sentences which distinguish these theories.
