Explicit sentences distinguishing Mcduff’s II1 factors

Abstract

Recently, Boutonnet, Chifan, and Ioana proved that McDuff’s examples of continuum many pairwise non-isomorphic separable II1 factors are in fact pairwise non-elementarily equivalent. Their proof proceeded by showing that any ultrapowers of any two distinct McDuff examples are not isomorphic. In a paper by the first two authors of this paper, Ehrenfeucht–Fra¨ısse games were used to find an upper bound on the quantifier complexity of sentences distinguishing the McDuff examples, leaving it as an open question to find concrete sentences distinguishing the McDuff factors. In this paper, we answer this question by providing such concrete sentences.
