Tensor products which do not preserve operator algebras

Extract
Of late the link between operator algebras and certain tensor products has been reiterated [5]. We prove here that the projective and Haagerup tensor products of two infinite-dimensional C*-algebras is not even topologically isomorphic to an algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. Estimates are given for the distance of the tensor product from such an algebra. Nonetheless with respect to a natural multiplication the Haagerup tensor product of two algebras of Hilbert space operators is completely isometrically isomorphic to an algebra of operators on some B(ℋ).
