Tensor Products of Operator Spaces II

Abstract

Together with Vern Paulsen we were able to show that the elementary theory of tensor norms of Banach spaces carries over to operator spaces. We suggested that the Grothendieck tensor norm program, which was of course enormously important in the development of Banach space theory, be carried out for operator spaces. Some of this has been done by the authors mentioned above, and by Effros and Ruan. We give alternative developments of some of this work, and otherwise continue the tensor norm program.
