An exact criterion is derived for an operator valued weight function on the torus to have a factorization , where the operator valued Fourier coefficients of Φ vanish outside of the Helson-Lowdenslager halfplane , and Φ is “outer” in a related sense. The criterion is expressed in terms of a regularity condition on the weighted space of vector valued functions on the torus. A logarithmic integrability test is also provided. The factor Φ is explicitly constructed in terms of Toeplitz operators...
