Local and global approximation via ultraproduct

I am going to talk on a work aimed at formalising approximation procedures in physics.  The main new model-theoretic tool in this work is the notion of the ultraproduct in the classes of emerging metric structures which generalises the ultraproduct  of general structures developed by J.Kiesler. In particular, the structure of Minkowski spacetime with the action of the Lorentz group is an emerging metric ultraproduct of certain finite structures invariant under the action of appropriate finite groups. Also, it is shown that any compact simple Lie group is representable as emerging metric ultraproduct of finite groups.
