This question is intimately related to the projective geometry of $\mathbb{P}(A) \times \mathbb{P}(B) \subset \mathbb{P}(A \otimes B)$. This is why I added two tags : algebraic-geometry and projective geometry

Sep 6, 2013 at 15:04 comment added Suvrit Somehow it feels that the following "dual" result is very closely related, and could for some fields also yield your inequality (by splitting the tensor product into "separable" and "joint" spaces, whose dimensions add up to $d_Ad_B$): On the maximal dimension of a completely entangled subspace..." by K. Parathasarathy; ias.ac.in/mathsci/vol114/nov2004/Pm2342.pdf --- in particular, your subspaces have the "separable" state property, while the cited paper considers "full entangled" subspaces.
Sep 6, 2013 at 2:30 comment added darij grinberg Probably also related: Flanders' theorem (§8.3 in Prasolov's Linear Algebra book www2.math.su.se/~mleites/Prasolov/prasLinAlg/pr-linAlg-main.dvi ).
Sep 6, 2013 at 1:23 comment added Martin Brandenburg This feels like a statement from projective geometry. $\mathbb{P}(V) \subseteq \mathbb{P}(A \otimes B)$ somehow "intersects enough" $\mathbb{P}(A) \times \mathbb{P}(B)$ so that $\dim(\mathbb{P}(V)) \geq \dim(\mathbb{P}(A) \times \mathbb{P}(B))$.
Sep 6, 2013 at 0:50 comment added Jack Huizenga I don't have time to think about this right now, but it seems strikingly familiar to the following theorem of Hopf. If $f:A \otimes B\to C$ is a linear map which is injective on each factor separately, then $\dim f(A\otimes B) \geq \dim A + \dim B - 1.$ However, this theorem is true over $\mathbb{C}$ but false over $\mathbb{R}$ (the proof is given by algebraic topology), so maybe it is only a superficial observation.
Sep 5, 2013 at 23:59 comment added darij grinberg In characteristic $\neq 2$, the space spanned by diagonal bilinear forms actually contains all symmetric bilinear forms.
Sep 5, 2013 at 23:55 comment added Michael Could you clarify my confusion? Take $A=B$, identify their tensor product with bilinear forms, and take $V$ be the space spanned by diagonal bilinear forms. What am I missing here?
