Norm of a tensor product of operators
$begingroup$
I have two Hilbert spaces $H_1$ and $H_2$ which are subspaces of a bigger Hilbert space $H$.
I also have two bounded linear functions $T_1:H_1rightarrow H$ and $T_2:H_2rightarrow H$.
I define the tensor product space $F=H_1otimes H_2$, and a linear function on it $T=(T_1otimes T_2)$. The vector space $F$ has the induced inner product from the Hilbert spaces:
$$langlephi_1otimes psi_1, phi_2 otimes psi_2rangle = langlephi_1,phi_2ranglelanglepsi_1,psi_2rangle$$ and therefore an induced norm.
I want to show that $|T|| =|T_1|| cdot|T_2|$, but I'm stuck since I cant show that
$|T|| leq |T_1|| cdot|T_2|$ (the other inequality I've already shown).
Can anyone help?

$newcommand{norm}[1]{left|{#1}right|}
newcommand{ip}[1]{leftlangle{#1}rightrangle}
newcommand{abs}[1]{left|{#1}right|}$Let $S in B(H_1)$, $T in B(H_2)$; the claim is that $norm{S otimes T} leq norm{S}norm{T}$.
Let me first show that $S otimes I$ is bounded with $norm{S otimes I} leq norm{S}$; the same proof, mutatis mutandis, will show that $I otimes T$ is bounded with $norm{I otimes T} leq norm{T}$. Since the algebraic tensor product $H_1 odot H_2$ is dense in $H_1 otimes H_2$, it suffices to show that $norm{(S otimes I)v} leq norm{S}norm{v}$ for any $v in H_1 odot H_2$.
So, let $v = sum_{k=1}^N x_k otimes y_k in H_1 odot H_2$; by performing Gram--Schmidt orthogonalisation on ${y_k}$ and expressing the $y_k$ in terms of the resulting orthonormal basis for $operatorname{span}{y_k}$, we may assume without loss of generality that ${y_k}$ is orthonormal. On the one hand, it follows that ${x_k otimes y_k}$ is orthogonal, so that
$$
norm{v}^2 = norm{sum_{k=1}^N x_k otimes y_k}^2 = sum_{k=1}^N norm{x_k otimes y_k}^2 = sum_{k=1}^N norm{x_k}^2.
$$
On the other hand, since $(S otimes I)(x_k otimes y_k) = Sx_k otimes y_k$, it follows that ${Sx_k otimes y_k}$ is also orthogonal, so that by the same computation, mutatis mutandis,
$$
norm{(S otimes I)v}^2 = sum_{k=1}^N norm{S x_k}^2 leq sum_{k=1}^N norm{S}^2 norm{x_k}^2 = norm{S}^2 sum_{k=1}^N norm{x_k}^2 = norm{S}^2norm{v}^2.
$$
Thus, $norm{(S otimes I)v} leq norm{S}norm{v}$, as required.
Now, observe that since $(S otimes T) = (S otimes I)(I otimes T)$ on $H_1 odot H_2$, it follows by the boundedness of $S otimes I$ and $I otimes T$ that $S otimes T$ is also bounded with norm
$$
norm{S otimes T} leq norm{S otimes I}norm{I otimes T} leq norm{S}norm{T},
$$
as required.

Let me add the other direction. Suppose $varepsilon >0$. Then from the boundedness of operators $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ we know that there exist unit vectors in the Hilbert spaces $psi in H_{1}$, $xi in H_{2}$ such that:
$left | T_{1} psi right |> left | T_{1} right | - epsilon$, $left | T_{2} xi right |> left | T_{2} right | - epsilon$
Using this we can use the definition of the tensor product to see that:
$left | left (T_{1}otimes T_{2} right )left ( psiotimes xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left | left ( T_{1}psiotimes T_{2}xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left |T_{1}psi right |_{H_{1}} left | T_{2}xi right |_{H_{2}}geq$
$ geqleft | T_{1} right |left | T_{2} right |-epsilon left | T_{1} right | - epsilon left | T_{2} right | + epsilon^{2}geqleft | T_{1} right |left | T_{2} right |-epsilon left | T_{1} right | - epsilon left | T_{2} right |$
Sending $epsilon$ to 0 shows the desired result.

$$
Thus, $norm{(S otimes I)v} leq norm{S}norm{v}$, as required.
Now, observe that since $(S otimes T) = (S otimes I)(I otimes T)$ on $H_1 odot H_2$, it follows by the boundedness of $S otimes I$ and $I otimes T$ that $S otimes T$ is also bounded with norm

Let me add the other direction. Suppose $varepsilon >0$. Then from the boundedness of operators $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ we know that there exist unit vectors in the Hilbert spaces $psi in H_{1}$, $xi in H_{2}$ such that:
$left | T_{1} psi right |> left | T_{1} right | - epsilon$, $left | T_{2} xi right |> left | T_{2} right | - epsilon$
Using this we can use the definition of the tensor product to see that:
$left | left (T_{1}otimes T_{2} right )left ( psiotimes xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left | left ( T_{1}psiotimes T_{2}xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left |T_{1}psi right |_{H_{1}} left | T_{2}xi right |_{H_{2}}geq$

$left | T_{1} psi right |> left | T_{1} right | - epsilon$, $left | T_{2} xi right |> left | T_{2} right | - epsilon$
Using this we can use the definition of the tensor product to see that:
$left | left (T_{1}otimes T_{2} right )left ( psiotimes xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left | left ( T_{1}psiotimes T_{2}xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left |T_{1}psi right |_{H_{1}} left | T_{2}xi right |_{H_{2}}geq$
$ geqleft | T_{1} right |left | T_{2} right |-epsilon left | T_{1} right | - epsilon left | T_{2} right | + epsilon^{2}geqleft | T_{1} right |left | T_{2} right |-epsilon left | T_{1} right | - epsilon left | T_{2} right |$
Sending $epsilon$ to 0 shows the desired result.

Let me add the other direction. Suppose $varepsilon >0$. Then from the boundedness of operators $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ we know that there exist unit vectors in the Hilbert spaces $psi in H_{1}$, $xi in H_{2}$ such that:
$left | T_{1} psi right |> left | T_{1} right | - epsilon$, $left | T_{2} xi right |> left | T_{2} right | - epsilon$
Using this we can use the definition of the tensor product to see that:
$left | left (T_{1}otimes T_{2} right )left ( psiotimes xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left | left ( T_{1}psiotimes T_{2}xi right ) right |_{H_{1}bigotimes H_{2}}=left |T_{1}psi right |_{H_{1}} left | T_{2}xi right |_{H_{2}}geq$
$ geqleft | T_{1} right |left | T_{2} right |-epsilon left | T_{1} right | - epsilon left | T_{2} right | + epsilon^{2}geqleft | T_{1} right |left | T_{2} right |-epsilon left | T_{1} right | - epsilon left | T_{2} right |$
Sending $epsilon$ to 0 shows the desired result.

LaTeX tips:
<
and>
mean "less than" and "greater than", and produce spacing correct for that meaning only. When you want angle brackets, you need to uselangle
andrangle
. Also, to get proper norm symbols use|
instead of||
