Extract

It will be shown later in this paper that the class of all Hilbert spaces is not an elementary class (in the wider sense) in the lower predicate calculus. It is not difficult to find a type and a sentence in Lω1ω1 (of that type) whose models are precisely the Hilbert spaces (slightly altered to include in their domains the real or complex numbers).
