So say I have a real vector space $V$ of dimension $n$. Consider the tensor space $T^(2, 0)(V) = V otimes V$, note that $V otimes V$ is isomorphic to the vector space of multilinear maps from $V^* times V^* to mathbbR$, that is $$T^(2, 0)(V) = V otimes V cong Lleft(V^*, V^*; mathbbRright)$$



So any element $alpha in V otimes V$ is of the form $alpha = mathfraka otimes mathfrakb$ where $mathfraka$ and $mathfrakb$ are elements of the double dual $V^**$ (under an isomorphism to $V$) and $mathfraka otimes mathfrakb : V^* times V^* to mathbbR$ is a multilinear map defined by $(mathfraka otimes mathfrakb)(f, g) = mathfraka(f)cdot mathfrakb(g)$



Now consider the tensor space $T^(0, 2)(V) = V^* otimes V^*$. Similarly we have that $$T^(0, 2)(V) = V^* otimes V^* cong Lleft(V, V; mathbbRright)$$



So any element $beta in V^* otimes V^*$ is of the form $beta = omega otimes eta$ where $omega,eta in V^*$ and $omega otimes eta : V times V to mathbbR$ is a multi-linear map such that $(omega otimes eta)(x, y) = omega(x)cdot eta(y)$.



Firslty is everything above that I've said correct? If so what if we have the mixed tensor space $T^(2, 1)(V) = V otimes V otimes V^*$, is this tensor space isomorphic to $L(V^*, V^*, V; mathbbR)$? In other words is every element $kappa in V otimes V otimes V^*$ of the form $kappa = mathfrakaotimes mathfrakb otimes omega$ where $mathfraka, mathfrakb$ are elements of $V$ under an isomorphism to $V^**$ and $omega in V^*$ and $$kappa = mathfrakaotimes mathfrakb otimes omega : V^* times V^* times V to mathbbR$$ is defined by $$(mathfrakaotimes mathfrakb otimes omega)(f, g, x) = mathfraka(f) cdot mathfrakb(g)cdot omega(x)$$



Is the above correct?



EDIT: Apart from my error in writing everything as simple tensors, are my above ideas correct?

    Not a complete answer, but for one thing not all tensors are simple; you need $alpha = sum_i mathfraka_i otimes mathfrakb_i$.

    You want finite dimensional vector spaces to identify a tensor product with duals of multilinear maps, much like you need it to identify $V$ with its double dual. Apart from this, and the comment on tensors not all being simple, it looks fine.
