#### Abstract

a recent paper of the first author and Kashyap, a new class of Banach modules over dual operator algebras is introduced. These generalize the $W^*$-modules (that is, Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a von Neumann algebra which satisfy an analogue of the Riesz representation theorem for Hilbert spaces), which in turn generalize Hilbert spaces. In the present paper, we describe these modules, giving some motivation, and we prove several new results about them.
