Synopsis

Let Vrs, s = 1 …, K be Hermitian operators on Hilbert spaces Hr, r = 1, …, k. For x = x1⊗…⊗xkH1⊗…⊗Hk we define Δx by the formal determinantal expansion Δx = ⊗det{Vrsxr}. Δ is extended to all of H by linearity and continuity. The paper presents results concerning positivity properties of Δ on decomposable tensors.
