Pointwise tensor products of function spaces.

Abstract: By means of a mixture of linear and nonlinear techniques, the paper treats quasi-Banach function spaces as -modules and studies the basic algebraical constructions and their interactions, placing the emphasis on tensor products. Sample result: if is an exact sequence of -modules and homomorphisms, where Y and Z are function spaces, and V is another function space, then the tensorized sequence is exact too.
