In particular, this settles the long-standing open problem of whether $c_{0} \\widehat{\\otimes}_\\pi c_{0}$ is isomorphic to $c_{0} \\widehat{\\otimes}_\\pi c_{0}\\widehat{\\otimes}_\\pi c_{0}$. The origin of this problem goes back to Joe Diestel who mentioned it in a private communication to the authors of paper \"Unexpected subspaces of tensor products\" published in 2006.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-22T12:41:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "isomorphic", "fold projective tensor product", "long-standing open problem", "joe diestel", "private communication" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
