Abstract

The Banach ^{*}-algebra A^BA\hat{\otimes}B, the operator space projective tensor product of CC^{*}-algebras AA and BB, is shown to be ^{*}-regular if Tomiyama's property (FF) holds for AminBA\otimes_{\min}B and AminB=AmaxBA \otimes_{\min}B=A \otimes_{\max}B, where min\otimes_{\min} and max\otimes_{\max} are the injective and projective CC^{*}-cross norm, respectively. However, A^BA\hat{\otimes}B has a unique CC^{*}-norm if and only if ABA\otimes B has. We also discuss the property (FF) of A^BA\hat{\otimes}B and AhBA\otimes_{h}B, the Haagerup tensor product of AA and BB.
