Tensor products of vector spaces - bilinear forms, tensors as linear mappings, tensor and trace duality.
The projective tensor product - the projective norm, the dual space.
The injective tensor product - the injective norm, C(K) and L - infinity spaces.
The Chevet Saphar tensor norms, The Hilbertian tensor norm.
The minimal tensor product, Ruan’s theorem, basics of operator space theory.
