Abstract
This chapter is an introduction to the topological theory of tensor products of Banach spaces. The focus lies on the applications of tensors in the duality theory for spaces of operators, and their structure as Banach spaces. We discuss the role of the approximation property and Enflo’s example of a Banach space without the approximation property.
