Inner-outer factorization for matrix-valued functions defined on totally ordered groups has been considered by Helson and Lowdenslager in connection with multivariate prediction theory. We discuss their result in an operator-theoretic framework and prove that there are obstructions to its extension to operator-valued functions.
