Multi-Toeplitz operators and free pluriharmonic functions

Abstract: We initiate the study of weighted multi-Toeplitz operators associated with noncommutative regular domains in B(H)^n. These operators are acting on the full Fock space with n generators and have as symbols free pluriharmonic functions. Several classical results from complex analysis concerning harmonic functions have analogues in our noncommutative setting. In particular, we show that the bounded free pluriharmonic functions are precisely those which are noncommutative Berezin transforms of weighted multi-Toeplitz operators, and solve the Dirichlet extension problem in this setting. Using noncommutative Cauchy transforms, we provide a free analytic functional calculus for n-tuples of operators, which extends to free pluriharmonic functions.
