Let us consider E a finite-dimensional normed space on $\mathbb{R}$ and a real number $p\geq 1$. Is it true that the projective tensorial product $E \widehat{\otimes}_\pi L^p(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ is isometric to $L^p(\mathbb{R},E)$.

Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ Are you sure ? even if $E$ is finite dimensional ? Do you know any reference ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ For $p\neq 1$ and $E$ finite dimensional, they are isomorphic but not isometrically so. If they were isometric, then by a simple compactness argument the same would hold for $E$ infinite dimensional. I don't have access to a library at the moment so I can't give you a precise reference now. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Why close this? It's not a bad question for a non-expert to ask! $\endgroup$
