13.12 The Injective Tensor Product

Lemma 13.12.1.label Let $E, F$ be locally convex spaces over $K \in \RC$, then the canonical map

\[E \otimes F \to L^{2}(E^{*}, F^{*}; K) \quad (x \otimes y)(\phi, \psi) = \dpn{x, \phi}{E}\dpn{y, \psi}{F}\]

is injective.

Proof. Let $\lambda = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} x_{j} \otimes y_{j} \in E \otimes F$ such that $\lambda(\phi, \psi) = 0$ for all $\phi \in E^{*}$ and $\psi \in F^{*}$. Assume without loss of generality that $\bracsn{x_j}_{1}^{n} \subset E$ is a linearly independent set. Fix $\phi \in E^{*}$, then for every $\psi \in F^{*}$,

\[0 = \lambda(\phi, \psi) = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} \dpn{x_j, \phi}{E}\dpn{y_j, \psi}{F}= \angles{\sum_{j = 1}^n x_j\dpn{y_j, \psi}{F}, \phi}_{E}\]

By the Hahn-Banach Theorem, $\sum_{j = 1}^{n} x_{j}\dpn{y_j, \psi}{F}= 0$. Since $\bracs{x_j}_{1}^{n} \subset E$ is linearly independent, $\dpn{y_j, \psi}{F}= 0$ for each $1 \le j \le n$.

As the above holds for all $\psi \in F^{*}$, the Hahn-Banach Theorem implies that $y_{j} = 0$ for each $1 \le j \le n$.$\square$

Definition 13.12.2 (Bi-Equicontinuous Convergence).label Let $E, F$ be locally convex spaces over $K \in \RC$ and

\[\sigma = \bracsn{S \times T| S \subset E^* \text{ equipcontinuous}, T \subset F^* \text{ equicontinuous}}\]

be the product of all equicontinuous subsets of $E^{*}$ and $F^{*}$, then the $\sigma$-topology on $L^{2}(E, F; K)$ is the topology of bi-equicontinuous convergence on $L^{2}(E, F; K)$. Under this topology, $L^{2}(E, F; K)$ is a locally convex space.

Proof. By Proposition 13.10.1, the $\sigma$-topology is a vector space topology.$\square$

Definition 13.12.3 (Injective Tensor Product).label Let $E, F$ be locally convex spaces over $K \in \RC$, and identify $E \otimes F$ as a subspace of $L^{2}(E, F; K)$, then $E \otimes F$ equipped with the topology of bi-equicontinuous convergence is the injective tensor product of $E$ and $F$, denoted $E \otimes_{\eps} F$.

The Hausdorff completion $E \wh{\otimes}_{\eps} F$ of $E \otimes_{\eps} F$ is the injective completion of $E$ and $F$.

Definition 13.12.4 (Injective Cross Seminorm).label Let $E, F$ be locally convex spaces over $K \in \RC$, $S \subset E^{*}$ and $T \subset F^{*}$ be equicontinuous, and $\lambda = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} x_{j} \otimes y_{j} \in E \otimes F$, then

\[[\lambda]_{S, T}= \braks{\sum_{j = 1}^n x_j \otimes y_j}_{S, T}= \sup_{\phi \in S, \psi \in T}\abs{\sum_{j = 1}^n \dpn{x_j, \phi}{E}\dpn{y_j, \psi}{F}}\]

is the injective cross seminorm of $\lambda$ with respect to $S$ and $T$. The family of all such norms induces the topology on $E \otimes_{\eps} F$. In particular, if $E, F$ are normed vector spaces, then

\[\norm{\lambda}_{E \otimes_\eps F}= \norm{\sum_{j = 1}^n x_j \otimes y_j}= \sup_{\substack{\phi \in E^* \\ \norm{\phi}_{E^*} \le 1}}\sup_{\substack{\psi \in E \\ \norm{\psi}_{F^*} \le 1}}\abs{\sum_{j = 1}^n \dpn{x_j, \phi}{E}\dpn{y_j, \psi}{F}}\]

is the injective cross norm on $E \otimes_{\eps} F$.
