contents The tubal tensor framework provides a clean and effective algebraic setting for tensor computations, supporting matrix-mimetic features like Singular Value Decomposition and Eckart-Young-like optimality results. Underlying the tubal tensor framework is a view of a tensor as a matrix of finite sized tubes. In this work, we lay the mathematical and computational foundations for working with tensors with infinite size tubes: matrices whose elements are elements from a separable Hilbert space. A key challenge is that existence of important desired matrix-mimetic features of tubal tensors rely on the existence of a unit element in the ring of tubes. Such unit element cannot exist for tubes which are elements of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We sidestep this issue by embedding the tubal space in a commutative unital C*-algebra of bounded operators. The resulting quasitubal algebra recovers the structural properties needed for decomposition and low-rank approximation. In addition to laying the theoretical groundwork for working with tubal tensors with infinite dimensional tubes, we discuss computational aspects of our construction, and provide a numerical illustration where we compute a finite dimensional approximation to a infinitely-sized synthetic tensor using our theory. We believe our theory opens new exciting avenues for applying matrix mimetic tensor framework in the context of inherently infinite dimensional problems.
