Conjecture on the complexity of theories of infinitely generic operator algebras
Conjecture on the complexity of theories of infinitely generic operator algebras
An infinitely generic operator algebra is the corresponding generic model in the sense used in the paper. For a structure , let denote its first-order theory; second-order arithmetic is the standard second-order arithmetic theory, and Turing reduces to when .
Infinitely generic theories conjecture. Second-order arithmetic Turing reduces to both theories
of infinitely generic -algebras and infinitely generic tracial von Neumann algebras, respectively.
The analogous reduction is known for infinitely generic groups, yielding continuum many theories of existentially closed groups. The operator-algebraic assertion is presented as a conjecture; the source notes that, if it also held for embeddable tracial von Neumann algebras, it would have consequences for the theory of the hyperfinite II factor.
