Description
### What is the conjecture
Connes' embedding problem asks whether every [type II1 factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_algebra) on a separable [Hilbert space](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space) can be embedded into some $R^{\omega}$. See more information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connes_embedding_problem.
### Prerequisites needed
Requires a lot of infrastructure to be built in mathlib.
### [AMS categories](https://github.com/google-deepmind/formal-conjectures/labels?q=ams-)
* ams-08
### Choose either option
- [ ] I plan on adding this conjecture to the repository
- [x] This issue is up for grabs: I would like to see this conjecture added by somebody else
