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.
Abstract
We use continuous model theory to obtain several results concerning isomorphisms and embeddings between II_1 factors and their ultrapowers. Among other things, we show that for any II_1 factor M, there are continuum many nonisomorphic separable II_1 factors that have an ultrapower isomorphic to an ultrapower of M. We also give a poor man's resolution of the Connes Embedding Problem: there exists a separable II_1 factor such that all II_1 factors embed into one of its ultrapowers.

The Model Theory of Nuclear $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, a model theoretic study of nuclear algebraic structures using the tools of continuous logic is presented. But this study is restricted to the case of nuclear √ c-algebras.

II_1 factors with non-isomorphic ultrapowers

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there exist uncountably many separable II$_1$ factors whose ultrapowers (with respect to arbitrary ultrafilters) are non-isomorphic.
