Abstract:
In this note we study the problem how the complexification of a real Banach space can be normed in such a way that it becomes a complex Banach space from the point of view of the theory of cross-norms on tensor products of Banach spaces. In particular we show that the norm of a complex Banach lattice can be interpretated in terms of the l-tensor product of real Banach lattices.
