Computable -theory for C*-algebras II: AF algebras

Christopher J. Eagle, Isaac Goldbring, Timothy H. McNicholl

We continue the study of the effective content of -theory for C*-algebras, with a focus on AF algebras. We show that from a c.e. presentation of an AF algebra it is possible to…

Non-computability of -theory for computably presented C*-algebras

Christopher J. Eagle, Isaac Goldbring, Timothy H. McNicholl +1

We give an example of a unital C*-algebra with a computable presentation and for which neither nor has a computable presentation.

General real-valued theories with the Schröder-Bernstein property are stable

Alexander Berenstein, Nicolás Cuervo Ovalle, Isaac Goldbring

We show that every general theory à la Keisler with the Schröder-Bernstein property is stable. This generalizes the corresponding result from classical logic due to John Goodrick.…

On definability of C*-tensor norms

Isaac Goldbring, Thomas Sinclair

We initiate the study of definability (in the model-theoretic sense) of C*-tensor norms. We show that neither the minimal nor maximal tensor norms are definable uniformly over all…

Model theory of Hilbert spaces expanded by normal operators

Alexander Berenstein, Nicolás Cuervo Ovalle, Isaac Goldbring

We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator . We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definabi…

Existentially closed measure-preserving actions of approximately treeable groups

Isaac Goldbring, Brandon Seward, Robin Tucker-Drob

Given a countable group , letting denote the class of {\pmp} actions of , we study the question of when the model companion of exists. Berenst…

Computable presentations of randomizations

Nicolás Cuervo Ovalle, Isaac Goldbring

We initiate the effective metric structure theory of Keisler randomizations. We show that a classical countable structure has a decidable presentation if and only if…

The Schröder-Bernstein property for operators on Hilbert spaces

Nicolás Cuervo Ovalle, Isaac Goldbring, Netanel Levi

We establish that the complete theory of a Hilbert space equipped with a normal operator has the Schröder-Bernstein property. This answers a question of Argoty, Berenstein, and the…

Totally Bounded Elements in W*-probability Spaces

Hiroshi Ando, Jananan Arulseelan, Isaac Goldbring +2

We introduce the notion of a totally (-) bounded element of a -probability space and, borrowing ideas of Kadison, give an intrinsic characterization of the -su…

Computable -theory for -algebras: UHF algebras

Christopher Eagle, Isaac Goldbring, Timothy McNicholl +1

We initiate the study of the effective content of -theory for -algebras. We prove that there are computable functors which associate, to a computably enumerable pr…

Computably strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras

Isaac Goldbring

We introduce the notion of a computably strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra and show that the following C*-algebras are computably strongly self-absorbing: the Cuntz algebras $\math…

Undecidability and incompleteness in quantum information theory and operator algebras

Isaac Goldbring

We survey a number of incompleteness results in operator algebras stemming from the recent undecidability result in quantum complexity theory known as $\operatorname{MIP}^*=\operat…
