Let A1, A2 be Banach algebras, A1 ⊗ A2 their algebraic tensor product over the complex field. If ‖ · ‖α is an algebra norm on A1 ⊗ A2 we write A1 ⊗αA2 for the ‖ · ‖α-completion of A1 ⊗ A2. In this note we study the existence of identities and approximate identities in A1 ⊗αA2 versus their existence in A1 and A2. Some of the results obtained are already known, but our method of proof appears new, though it is quite elementary.
