Abstract
We characterize all the extreme points of the unit ball in the space of tri linear forms on the Hilbert space C-2. This answers a question posed by R. Grzaslewicz and K. John [7], who solved the corresponding problem for the r eal Hilbert space R-2. As an application we determine the best constant in the inequality between the Hilbert-Schmidt norm and the norm of trilinear f orms.
