Hilbert spaces of tame continuous structures

Boris Zilber
Abstract
I will show that to any continuous structure M one can associate a tower B(M) of Banach spaces with operators. This can be considered an analogue of Tarski's cylindric algebra for a first order structure. If, additionally, M is 'tame', then an inner product is definable in B(M) and so it becomes a pre-Hilbert space which can be completed to the Hilbert space H(M).
