Diss. (sammanfattning) Uppsala : Univ., 2003. / Härtill 3 uppsatser.

In this thesis, we study problems related to the reconstruction (up to bi-interpretability) of first-order theories from various functorial invariants: automorphism groups, endomorphism monoids, (categories of) countable models, and (ultra)categories of models. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

We derive basic properties of groups which can be approximated with matrices. These include closure of classes of such groups under group theoretic constructions including direct and inverse limits and free products. We show that metric ultraproducts of projective linear groups over fields of different characteristics are not isomorphic. We further prove that the lattice of normal subgroups in ultraproducts of compact simple groups is distributive. It is linearly ordered in the case of finite simple groups or Lie groups of bounded rank.

Também é realizada uma revisão dos conceitos relacionados a topologia, aplicações multilineares, ultrafiltros e ultraprodutos de espaços de Banach. / This is work aims to present a application of the ultraproducts theory in Functional Analysis in Banach spaces, specifically in the problems of extension of holomorphic functions, polarization constants and maximal operator ideals. Also is performed a review of concepts about topology, multilinear maps, ultrafilters and ultraproducts in Banach spaces.
