For a family of von Neumann algebras Mj equipped with normal weights φj we define the ultraproduct weight (φj)ω on the Groh--Raynaud ultrapower ∏j, ω Mj. We prove results about Tomita-Takesaki modular theory and consider ultraproducts of spatial derivatives. This extends results by Ando--Haagerup and Raynaud for the state case. We give some applications to noncommutative Lp-spaces and indicate how ultraproducts of weights appear naturally in transference results for Schur and Fourier multipliers. Using ideas from complex interpolation with respect to ultraproduct weights, we give a new proof of a theorem by Raynaud which shows that ∏j, ω Lp(Mj) ≃ Lp(∏j, ω Mj ). We complement the paper by showing that spatial derivatives take a natural form in terms of noncommutative Lp-spaces.
