Structure and entropy for positive-definite Toeplitz kernels on free semigroups (Q5927723)

The author describes the structure of positive-definite Toeplitz kernels on free semigroups and establishes its connection with noncommutative dilation theory, harmonic analysis on Fock spaces, prediction and interpolation theory for stationary stochastic processes. Some other applications are also given. Contents. 0. Introduction. 1. The structure of positive-definite Toeplitz kernels on free semigroups. 2. Szegő type limit theorems and entropy. 3.
