Free Analysis Questions II: The Grassmannian Completion and The Series Expansions at the Origin

Abstract

The fully matricial generalization in part I, of the difference quotient derivation on holomorphic functions, in which ${\mathbb C}$ is replaced by a Banach algebra $B$, is extended from the affine case to a Grassmannian completion. The infinitesimal bialgebra duality, the duality transform generalizing the Stieltjes transform and the spectral theory with non-commuting scalars all extend to this completion. The series expansions of fully matricial analytic functions are characterized, providing a new way to generate fully matricial functions.
