contents In this work we study the geometry of the unit ball of the space of operators ${\mathcal L}(X,Y^*)$, by considering the projective tensor product $X\hat{\otimes}_π Y$ as a predual. We prove that if an elementary tensor (rank one operator) of the form $x_0^*\otimes y_0^* $ in the unit sphere $ S_{{\mathcal L}(X,Y^*)}$ is a weak$^*$-strongly extreme point of the unit ball, then $x_0^*$ is weak$^*$-strongly extreme point of unit ball of $X^*$ and $y_0^*$ is weak$^*$-strongly extreme point of the unit ball of $Y^*$. We show that a similar conclusion holds if the rank one operator is a Namioka point (equivalently, point of weak$^*$-weak continuity for the identity mapping) on the unit sphere of ${\mathcal L}(X,Y^*)$. We also study extremal phenomenon in the unit ball of ${\mathcal L}(X,Y^*)^*$. We partly solve the open problem, when does an elementary tensor, whose components are Namioka points is again a Namioka point? We show that if a point $z\in S_{{\mathcal L}(X,Y^*)^*}$ is a weak$^*$-strongly extreme point of the unit ball, then $z=x\otimes y$ for some weak$^*$-strongly extreme points $x\in S_X$ and $y\in S_Y$, provided the space of compact operators, $\mathcal{K}(X,Y^*)$ is separating for $X\hat{\otimes}_π Y$.
