An important non-commutative generaliztion of the famous Wiener's Lemma states that under certain conditions the inverse $A^{-1}$ of a matrix $A$ will inherit the off-diagonal decay properties of $A$. In this paper, we investigate whether this Wiener property extends to matrix factorizations. For example, given the QR-factorization $A = QR$ of a bi-infinite matrix $A$, where $A$ belongs to some Banach algebra $\mathscr{A}$ which characterizes its off-diagonal decay, do $Q$ and $R$ also belong to $\mathscr{A}$? We will answer this question for the most important matrix factorizations.
Pizzas and soda will be served.
