Banach space; Grothendieck property; tensor product
Summary:
Let $X$  be a Banach space with the Grothendieck property, $Y$ a reflexive Banach space, and let $X\check{\otimes}_{\varepsilon} Y$ be the injective tensor product of  $X$ and  $Y$. \item {(a)} If either $X^{\ast \ast }$ or $Y$ has the approximation property and each continuous linear operator from  $X^\ast $ to  $Y$ is compact, then $X\check{\otimes}_{\varepsilon} Y$ has the Grothendieck property. \item {(b)} In addition, if $Y$  has an unconditional finite dimensional decomposition, then $X\check{\otimes}_{\varepsilon} Y$ has the Grothendieck property if and only if each continuous linear operator from  $X^\ast $ to  $Y$ is compact.
