Preservation of elementarity by tensor products of tracial von Neumann algebras

Ilijas Farah and Saeed Ghasemi

Vol. 332 (2024), No. 1, 91–113
DOI: 10.2140/pjm.2024.332.91
Abstract

Tensoring with type I algebras preserves elementary equivalence in the category of tracial von Neumann algebras. The proof involves a novel and general Feferman–Vaught-type theorem for direct integrals of metric structures.

Keywords
type $\mathrm{II}_1$ von Neumann algebras, direct integrals, preservation of elementarity, Feferman–Vaught theorem, continuous logic
