On the representation of multi-ideals by tensor norms

Abstract: A tensor norm $\beta= (\beta_{n}){n=1}^{\infty}$ is smooth if the natural correspondence $(E{1} \otimes\cdots\otimes E_{n} \otimes\mathbb{K},\beta_{n+1}) \longleftrightarrow (E_{1} \otimes\cdots\otimes E_{n} ,\beta_{n})$ is always an isometric isomorphism. In this paper we study the representation of multi-ideals and of ideals of multilinear forms by smooth tensor norms.
