Tensor Product
Let X and Y be two K-vector spaces. The tensor product X ⊗ Y from X and Y is a K-vector space Z with a bilinear function T: X × Y → Z which has the following universal property: If T′: X × Y → Z′ is any bilinear function into a K-vector space Z′, then only one linear function f: Z → Z′ with exists.
There are various norms that can be placed on the tensor product of the underlying vector spaces, amongst others the projective cross norm and injective cross norm. In general, the tensor product of complete spaces is not complete again.

Famous quotes containing the word product:
“Perhaps I am still very much of an American. That is to say, naïve, optimistic, gullible.... In the eyes of a European, what am I but an American to the core, an American who exposes his Americanism like a sore. Like it or not, I am a product of this land of plenty, a believer in superabundance, a believer in miracles.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
