Representation of contractively complemented Hilbertian operator spaces and the Fock space

The Hilbertian operator spaces Hnk, 1 ≤ k ≤ n, generalizing the row and column Hilbert spaces, and arising in the authors' previous study of contractively complemented subspaces of C*-algebras, are shown to be homogeneous and completely isometric to a space of creation operators on a subspace of the anti-symmetric Fock space. The completely bounded Banach-Mazur distance from Hnk to row or column space is explicitly calculated.
