Abstract

This paper presents the first of a multi-part
series of papers on the metric theory of tensor products according to Grothendieck's “Résumé de la theorie
metrique des produits tensoriels topologiques” It
contains the basics on tensor norms: a discussion of the special character of
the injective and the projective norms, fundamental operations on tensor norms,
extension of tensor norms to spaces of infinite dimensions.
