Abstract: We describe an infinitary logic for metric structures which is analogous to Lomega1,omega. We show that this logic is capable of expressing several concepts from analysis that cannot be expressed in finitary continuous logic. Using topological methods, we prove an omitting types theorem for countable fragments of our infinitary logic. We use omitting types to prove a two-cardinal theorem, which yields a strengthening of a result of Ben Yaacov and Iovino concerning separable quotients of Banach spaces.


This article describes the continuous logic analogue of \(\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}\) and proves an omitting types theorem for countable fragments of \(\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}\). The author then gives several applications of the omitting types theorem, including a continuous analgoue of Keisler's two-cardinal theorem and an improvement of a theorem of Ben Yaacov and Iovino on separable quotients of Banach spaces (which they proved using their own treatment of omitting types in countable fragments of infinitary continuous logic).
