For r ∞ p , q, r ∈ [1,∞), denote by () the set of all infinite matrices A = [ajk ]j ,k =1 over such that the matrix (ϕ [A [2] [r ] ∗ r ∞ ]) := [(ϕ(ajk ajk )) ]j ,k =1 defines a bounded linear operator from p q r to for all ϕ ∈ s(). Then () is a Banach algebra with the Schur product opera- r 1/ (2r) tion and norm A = sup {(ϕ [A [2]]) : ϕ ∈ s()}. Analogs of Schatten’s theorems on dualities among the compact operators, the trace-class operators, and all the bounded operators on a Hilbert space are proved.

Introduction The Schur product operation has been studied by many authors since the seminal work of Schur [1]. The idea has been used in the studies of completely positive maps, analytic function theory, matrix analysis, operator theory, and operator algebras, and so forth. Recently there has been work done on the Schur product of matrices over Banach alge- bras (see [2–4]) and operators on Hilbert spaces [4]. Here we consider another direction: matrices with entries from a fixed C∗ -algebra . The Gelfand-Naimark-Segal con
