Continuous model theories for von Neumann algebras

Abstract: We axiomatize in (first order finitary) continuous logic for metric structures sigma-finite W-probability spaces and preduals of von Neumann algebras jointly with a weak-* dense C-algebra of its dual. This corresponds to the Ocneanu ultrapower and the Groh ultrapower of (sigma-finite in the first case) von Neumann algebras. We give various axiomatizability results corresponding to recent results of Ando and Haagerup including axiomatizability of IIIlambda factors for 0<lambdaleq1 fixed and their preduals. We also strengthen the concrete Groh theory to an axiomatization result for preduals of von Neumann algebras in the language of tracial matrix-ordered operator spaces, a natural language for preduals of dual operator systems. We give an application to the isomorphism of ultrapowers of factors of type III and IIinfty for different ultrafilters.
