We present a generalization of Hölder duality to algebra-valued pairings via \(L^p\) -modules. Hölder duality states that if \(p \in (1, \infty )\) and \(p'\) are conjugate exponents, then the dual space of \(L^p(\mu )\) is isometrically isomorphic to \(L^{p'}(\mu )\) . In this work, we study certain pairs \((\textsf{Y},\textsf{X})\) , as generalizations of the pair \((L^{p'}(\mu ), L^p(\mu ))\) , that have an \(L^p\) -operator algebra-valued pairing \(\textsf{Y}\times \textsf{X}\rightarrow A\) . When the A-valued version of Hölder duality still holds, we say that \((\textsf{Y}, \textsf{X})\) is C*-like. We show that finite and countable direct sums of the C*-like module (A, A) are still C*-like when A is any block diagonal subalgebra of \(d \times d\) matrices. We provide counterexamples when \(A \subset M_d^p(\mathbb {C})\) is not block diagonal.
