Abstract: This note contributes to a circle of ideas that we have been developing recently in which we view certain abstract operator algebras $H^{infty}(E)$, which we call Hardy algebras, and which are noncommutative generalizations of classical $H^{infty}$, as spaces of functions defined on their spaces of representations. We define a generalization of the Poisson kernel, which ``reproduces the values, on $mathbbD((E^{sigma}{)}^{\ast })$, of the ``functions coming from $H^{infty}(E)$. We present results that are natural generalizations of the Poisson integral formuala. They also are easily seen to be generalizations of formulas that Popescu developed. We relate our Poisson kernel to the idea of a characteristic operator function and show how the Poisson kernel identifies the ``model space for the canonical model that can be attached to a point in the disc $mathbbD((E^{sigma}{)}^{\ast })$. We also connect our Poission kernel to various "point evaluations" and to the idea of curvature.

Review text

Let \(M\) be a \(W^*\)-algebra, \(E\) be a \(W^*\)-correspondence over \(M\) and \(H^\infty(E)\) be the Hardy algebra generated by them. The authors describe how a normal representation \(\sigma: M \to B(H_\sigma)\) gives rise to a dual correspondence \(E^\sigma\) and denote by \(\mathbb{D}((E^\sigma)^*)\) the unit ball of the space of adjoints of \(E^\sigma\). They define a generalization of the Poisson kernel, which reproduces the values on \(\mathbb{D}((E^\sigma)^*)\) of the functions coming from \(H^\infty(E)\). The obtained representation theorems are generalizations of the Poisson integral formula and formulas developed by \textit{G.\,Popescu} [J.~Funct.\ Anal.\ 161, No.\,1, 27--61 (1999; Zbl 0933.46070)] and related to those of \textit{W.\,Arveson} [J.~Reine Angew.\ Math.\ 522, 173--236 (2000; Zbl 0951.47008)]. The authors relate their Poisson kernel to the idea of a characteristic operator function and show how the Poisson kernel identifies the ``model space for the canonical model that can be attached to a point in \(\mathbb{D}((E^\sigma)^*)\) (see \textit{P.\,S.\thinspace Muhly} and \textit{B.\,Solel} [Integral Equations Oper.\ Theory 53, No.\,3, 411--452 (2005; Zbl 1108.47058)]). They also connect their Poisson kernel to the idea of curvature and complement results (see \textit{P.\,S.\thinspace Muhly} and \textit{B.\,Solel} [Proc.\ Lond.\ Math.\ Soc., III.\ Ser.\ 87, No.\,3, 748--778 (2003; Zbl 1057.46053)]). Their results partially extend those of \textit{G.\,Popescu} in [Adv.\ Math.\ 158, No.\,2, 264--309 (2001; Zbl 1002.46029)] and \textit{D.\,W.\thinspace Kribs} [Integral Equations Oper.\ Theory 41, No.\,4, 426--454 (2001; Zbl 0994.47007)].
