Extreme points in duals of complex operator spaces. (English) Zbl 0581.47029

It is proved that for complex Banach spaces X and Y, we have that the extreme points in the unit ball of the dual space of K(X,Y), the compact operators from X to Y, are given by \[ ext B(K(X,Y)^*)=ext B(X^{**})\otimes ext B(Y^*). \] This result was first proved for real Banach spaces by W. M. Ruess and C. P. Stegall, Math. Ann. 261, 535-546 (1982; Zbl 0501.47015). It follows from this characterization that if K(X,Y) contains a proper M-summand, then Y contains a proper M-summand or X contains a proper L-summand.
