The Metric Theory of Tensor Products: Grothendieck's Resume Revisited

Offers details of Grothendieck's constructions and laying bare how the important classes of operators are a consequence of the abstract operations on tensor norms. This book shows how the classical Banach spaces ($C(K)$'s, Hilbert spaces, and the spaces of integrable functions) fit naturally within the mosaic that Grothendieck constructed.
