It has been shown that the existence of a (left) approximate identity in the tensor product AB of Banach algebras A and B, where α is an admissible algebra norm on AB, implies the existence of approximate identities in A and B. The question has been raised as to whether the boundedness of the approximate identity in AαB implies the boundedness of the approximate identities in A and B. This paper answers the question affirmatively with a being the greatest cross-norm.
