For example, it is shown that the dual of the space of compact forms is the space of nuclear forms, while the second dual is the space of bounded forms. Moreover, a direct analogue of the Schatten p-ideals of operators on Hilbert space is defined using interpolation techniques and a normal form for compact forms is introduced. %~
