%0 Journal Article %A Villanueva, Ignacio %A Pérez García, David %T Unconditional bases in tensor products of Hilbert spaces %D 2005 %@ 0025-5521 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/49597 %X We prove that a tensor norm alpha (defined on tensor products of Hilbert spaces) is the Hilbert-Schmidt norm if and only if l(2) circle times(...)circle times l(2), endowed with the norm alpha, has an unconditional basis. This extends a classical result of Kwapien and Pelczynski. The symmetric version of that statement follows, and this extends a recent result of Defant, Diaz, Garcia and Maestre. %~
