Sep 29, 2020 at 19:50 comment added J. van Dobben de Bruyn Incidentally, Ruess and Stegall point out that this special case of their result had already been settled by I.I. Tseitlin, The extreme points of the unit ball of certain spaces of operators, Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 20 (1976), issue 4, pp. 521–527.
Sep 29, 2020 at 19:49 comment added J. van Dobben de Bruyn [...] The injective unit ball does not preserve extreme points. Indeed, if $\mathcal H$ is a Hilbert space with $2 \leq \dim(\mathcal H) < \infty$, then $\mathcal H \mathbin{\otimes_\varepsilon} \mathcal H \cong B(\mathcal H)$ isometrically. But the extreme points of the closed unit ball of $B(\mathcal H)$ are the unitary matrices, whereas the pure tensors $x \mathbin{\otimes} y$ correspond with matrices of rank $\leq 1$. So in fact $\text{ext}(B_{\mathcal H \mathbin{\otimes_\varepsilon} \mathcal H})$ is disjoint from $\text{ext}(B_{\mathcal H}) \mathbin{\otimes} \text{ext}(B_{\mathcal H})$.
Sep 29, 2020 at 19:49 comment added J. van Dobben de Bruyn @Topology no, their paper deals with the dual of the injective tensor product. Bill Johnson's assumptions on $X$ and $Y$ ensure that $X^* \mathbin{\tilde\otimes_\pi} Y^* = (X \mathbin{\tilde\otimes_\varepsilon} Y)^*$ isometrically (see e.g. Theorem 16.6 in Defant and Floret, Tensor Norms and Operator Ideals, North-Holland, 1993). [...]
Feb 7, 2020 at 17:16 comment added Topology I think Ruess, Stegall in their paper talk about the extreme point of the injective tensor product. How does the projective case follow from there?
