Jun 13, 2017 at 21:08 comment added Yemon Choi Basically, my intuition is that $M(X)$ is an $L_1$-ish kind of space, and you don't expect the injective tensor product of two $L^1$-ish things to be $L^1$-ish -- $\ell^1$ plays well with projective tensor product instead. Dually, the projective tensor product of two $C(K)$-ish things won't be $C(K)$-ish, in general
Jun 13, 2017 at 21:06 comment added Yemon Choi Regarding the 2nd edit: if by Bil you mean all bilinear maps, then this space is sometimes known as the space of bimeasures. It is known in the theory of Banach spaces that not every bimeasure on $X\times Y$ is a measure (in the literature, this is often mentioned alongside results such as Grothendieck's inequality ). I don't recall if this fact is in the book of Ryan that @MatthewDaws has referred to, but that might be one place to look

Jun 1, 2017 at 21:17 comment added Matthew Daws @YemonChoi: Yes, of course! So, correctly, the bounded bilinear maps on $C(X)\times C(Y)$ is just the bounded linear maps $C(X)\hat\otimes_\pi C(Y) \rightarrow \mathbb C$, i.e. the dual space, which we can identify with the bounded linear map $C(X)\rightarrow C(Y)^* = M(Y)$. Thus $M(X) \hat\otimes_\epsilon M(Y)$ is in general only a subspace (it gives you just the compact maps $C(X)\rightarrow M(Y)$.
Jun 1, 2017 at 19:14 comment added Yemon Choi Question for the OP: I agree that $M(X)\hat\otimes_\pi M(Y)$ should embed isometrically inside $M(X\times Y)$ but I don't see why we should get equality for, say, $X=Y=[0,1]$.
Jun 1, 2017 at 19:12 comment added Yemon Choi @MatthewDaws Are you sure about that last one? If $X$ and $Y$ are finite sets of size $n$ then $M(X)\hat\otimes_\pi M(Y)$ is just $\ell_1^{n^2}$. But the bilinear functionals on $\ell_\infty^n$ should not have the same norm as the linear functionals on $\ell_\infty^{n^2}$ ...
Jun 1, 2017 at 14:25 comment added Matthew Daws $\epsilon$ and $\overline\epsilon$ always agree, for any (dual) Banach spaces. Good references here are Diestel and Uhl's book on Vector Measures, or a personal favourite, Ryan's book "Introduction to tensor products of Banach spaces". The proof is basically just en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldstine_theorem The projective tensor product linearises bilinear maps, so I think (unless I misunderstand) that $B(C(X)\times C(Y))$ is $M(X) \hat\otimes_\pi M(Y)$.
Jun 1, 2017 at 14:17 comment added Nate Eldredge In your first paragraph, you need a word like "Radon" or "regular" or maybe "metrizable"...
