Abstract

We construct several examples of Hilbertian operator spaces with few completely bounded maps. In particular, we give an example of a separable 1-Hilbertian operator space X 0 such that, whenever X’ is an infinite dimensional quotient of X 0 , X is a subspace of X’, and \({{T : X {{\rightarrow}} X'}}\) is a completely bounded map, then TI X +S, where S is compact Hilbert-Schmidt and ||S||2/16≤||S|| cb ≤||S||2. Moreover, every infinite dimensional quotient of a subspace of X 0 fails the operator approximation property. We also show that every Banach space can be equipped with an operator space structure without the operator approximation property.
