Abstract: In a preceding work it is determined when a centrally symmetric convex body in

m a t h b b R^{d},

d = d_{1} c d o t s d_{l},

is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on

m a t h b b R^{d_{1}} o t i m e s c d o t s o t i m e s m a t h b b R^{d_{l}} .

Consequently, the class of tensorial bodies is introduced, an associated tensorial Banach-Mazur distance is defined and the corresponding Banach-Mazur type compactum is proved to exist. In this paper, we introduce the hyperspace of these convex bodies. We called "the space of tensorial bodies". It is proved that the group of linear isomorphisms on

m a t h b b R^{d_{1}} o t i m e s c d o t s o t i m e s m a t h b b R^{d_{l}}

preserving decomposable vectors acts properly (in the sense of Palais) on it. A convenient compact global slice for the space is constructed. With it, topological representatives for the space of tensorial bodies and the Banach-Mazur type compactum are given. Among others, it is showed that the set of ellipsoids in the class of tensorial bodies is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension

p = f r a c d_{1} (d_{1} + 1) 2 + c d o t s + f r a c d_{l} (d_{l} + 1) 2 .

We also prove that both the projective and the injective tensor products of

-symmetric convex bodies are continuous functions with respect to the Hausdorff distance.

Review text

The author continues her research of [\textit{M. Fernández-Unzueta} and the author, J. Convex Anal. 26, No. 4, 1297--1320 (2019; Zbl 1442.46056)]. A \(0\)-symmetric convex body \(Q\) in \(\mathbb R^{d}\), \(d=d_{1}\cdot d_{2}\cdots d_{\ell}\), is called a tensorial body if there are \(0\)-symmetric convex bodies \(Q_{i}\), \(i=1,\dots,\ell\), in \(\mathbb R^{d_{i}}\) such that \[ Q_{1}\otimes_{\pi} Q_{2}\otimes_{\pi}\cdots\otimes_{\pi} Q_{\ell}\subseteq Q\subseteq Q_{1}\otimes_{\epsilon} Q_{2}\otimes_{\epsilon}\cdots\otimes_{\epsilon} Q_{\ell}, \] where \(\pi\) indicates the projective tensor product and \(\epsilon\) the injective. While in local Banach space theory the quantitative properties of the Banach-Mazur compactum have been studied, the author investigates the topological properties. The author proves some topological properties of the set of tensorial bodies in the Banach-Mazur compactum.
