In the firs t talk\, I will explain how model theory sheds light on the recent resolut ion of the Connes Embedding Problem from the quantum complexity result kno wn as MIP*=RE. In the second talk\, I will explain how the ideas from the first talk also give information about the class of QWEP C*-algebras intr oduced by Kirchberg in the 1990s. In the final talk\, I will discuss two problems centered around relative commutants of tracial von Neumann algebr as in ultrapowers and how they are intimately connected with model theoret ic ideas. These talks will be independent of each other and from the talk I gave in this seminar in the fall.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/NYC-NCG/178/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
