Abstract

For a fixed unital Banach ∗-probability space (A, τ ), we construct a definite, or indefinite inner product space (A0, [, ]τ ), where A0 = A/ker (τ ) is the quotient Banach space and [, ]τ is a definite, or indefinite inner product on A0 determined by the trace τ on the unital Banach ∗-algebra A. From this Banach space (A0, [, ]τ ), a functional vector space, called the A0-Hardy space HA0:2 (D1), is constructed, where D1 is the open unit ball of A0. Similar to the classical Toeplitz-operator theory, one can define Toeplitz-like adjointable Banach-space operators acting on HA0:2 (D1). Our main results characterizes operator-theoretic properties of those Toeplitz-like operators over (A, τ ). In particular, self-adjointness, projection-property, normality, isometry-property, and unitarity are characterized as in the usual operator theory on Hilbert spaces. As application, we study free distributions of certain types of our operator-valued Toeplitz-like operators.
