TLDR
In this article, a model-theoretic result was proved that the theory of a separable metric structure is stable if and only if all of its ultrapowers associated with non-principal ultrafilters on ℕ are isomorphic even when the Continuum Hypothesis fails.
Abstract
We introduce a version of logic for metric structures suitable for applications to C*-algebras and tracial von Neumann algebras. We also prove a purely model-theoretic result to the effect that the theory of a separable metric structure is stable if and only if all of its ultrapowers associated with nonprincipal ultrafilters on ℕ are isomorphic even when the Continuum Hypothesis fails.

Ultraproducts of von Neumann algebras

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for a sigma-finite von Neumann algebra M, the ultraproduct M ω introduced by Ocneanu is a corner of the Ultraproduct ∏ ω M introduced by Groh and Raynaud.

Model theory of operator algebras III: elementary equivalence and II1 factors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use continuous model theory to obtain several results concerning isomorphisms and embeddings between II-1 factors and their ultrapowers, including a poor man's resolution of the Connes embedding problem.

Model theory of operator algebras I: Stability

TL;DR: In this article, the ultrapower and the relative commutant of a C*-algebra or II_1 factor depend on the choice of the ultrafilter, and they extend the results of Ge-Hadwin and the first author.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the negative answer to each of these questions is equivalent to the Continuum Hypothesis, extending results of Ge{Hadwin and the rst author.

Model theory for metric structures

TL;DR: A metric structure is a many-sorted structure with each sort a metric space, which for convenience is assumed to have finite diameter as mentioned in this paper, and there are functions (of several variables) between sorts, assumed to be uniformly continuous.
