Suppose $E$ is an operator space and $E^*$ is the dual operator space. It is well known that the matricial norm structure on $E^*$ is given by the formula $\|[f_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^n\|_{M_n(E^*)}:=\sup\{\|f_{ij}(v_{kl})\|:\|v\|_{M_n(E)}\leq 1\}.$ Is it true that if $[f_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^n$ is just a column matrix, then the supremum can be taken on the set where $v$ is a column matrix with norm $\leq 1$?

    $\begingroup$ I agree with @YemonChoi. That said, the question is not very well written: if we are meant to be considering a column vector then why write $[f_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^n$ with both $i$ and $j$ varying from $1$ to $n$? That's a matrix, not a column vector... Also, what evidence do you have for your conjecture: could you provide an example (non-trivial) Operator Space where it's true? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 24, 2021 at 20:43
