On matricially normed spaces (Q1262501)

The paper deals with results on matricially normed spaces. For example: If \(\phi\) is a linear map from an \(L^ 1\)-matricially normed space to an operator space then the usual norm of \(\phi\) and the completely bounded norm of \(\phi\) coincide. This is used to prove that the ``non-commutative Hahn-Banach theorem'' of Arveson and Wittstock does not generalize to matricially normed spaces. A direct proof of the Arveson-Wittstock theorem for operator spaces is given that uses only the \(L^{\infty}\)- matricial norm structure. Haagerup's tensor product for matricially normed spaces is considered.
