It is significant that a certain subspace, and a certain quotient, of $K$ are $L^p({\mathcal D})$-modules in the recent sense of Junge and Sherman, and therefore have a nice decomposition into cyclic submodules. We also give general inner-outer factorization formulae for elements in the noncommutative $L^p$. These facts generalize the classical ones, and should be useful in the future development of noncommutative $H^p$ theory. In addition, these results characterize maximal subdiagonal algebras.16 pagesOperator AlgebrasFunctional AnalysisA Beurling theorem for noncommutative L^ptext
