Dual subspaces of operators

In this note we introduce some new constructions of dual spaces of operators, which are, of course, at the same time, operator spaces in the sense of Pisier (2003) [12]. We exemplify the utility of these constructs by establishing, in this more general setting, a curious and little known result from the theory of dual algebras, namely from Chevreau and Pearcy (1991) [11].
