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:
“The end product of child raising is not only the child but the parents, who get to go through each stage of human development from the other side, and get to relive the experiences that shaped them, and get to rethink everything their parents taught them. The get, in effect, to reraise themselves and become their own person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
