We give an explicit axiomatization for this theory and describe the structure of all the representations which are elementary equivalent to it. We show that for every v in H the type of v over the empmtyset is in correspondence with the positive linear functional over A defined by v and has quantifier elimination as well. Finally, we characterize the model companion of the incomplete theory of all non-degenerate representations of A.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-11-30T04:38:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C45", "03C65", "03C98", "46L08", "46L30", "46L51", "46L52", "46L89" ], "keywords": [ "non-degenerate representation", "model theory", "model companion", "quantifier elimination", "hilbert space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.6188A" } } }
