The "maximal" tensor product of operator spaces Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In analogy with the maximal tensor product of C*-algebras, we define the maximal tensor product E1E2 of two operator spaces E1 and E2 and we show that it can be identified completely isometrically with the sum of the two Haagerup tensor products: E1hE2 + E2hE1. We also study the extension to more than two factors. Let E be an n-dimensional operator space. As an application, we show that the equality E*E = E*min E holds isometrically iff E = Rn or E = Cn (the row or column n-dimensional Hilbert spaces). Moreover, we show that if an operator space E is such that, for any operator space F, we have F min E = F E isomorphically, then E is completely isomorphic to either a row or a column Hilbert space.
