Inner M-ideals in Banach algebras.
We construct the category of quotients of -spaces and we show that it is Abelian. This answers a question of L. Waelbroeck from 1990.
In addition to Pisier’s counterexample of a non-accessible maximal Banach ideal, we will give a large class of maximal Banach ideals which are accessible. The first step is implied by the observation that a “good behaviour” of trace duality, which is canonically induced by conjugate operator ideals can be extended to adjoint Banach ideals, if and only if these adjoint ideals satisfy an accessibility condition (theorem 3.1). This observation leads in a natural way to a characterization of accessible...
The problem of topologies of Grothendieck is considered for complete tensor products of Fréchet spaces endowed with the topology defined by an arbitrary tensor norm. Some consequences on the stability of certain locally convex properties in spaces of operators are also given.
