Abstract

We define an AWAW^*-TRO as an off-diagonal corner of an AWAW^*-algebra, and show that the unit ball of an AWAW^*-TRO has an extreme point. In particular, the unit ball of an injective operator space has an extreme point, which answers a question raised in the author's previous work [Journal of Operator Theory, 76(2) (2016), 219-248] affirmatively. We also show that an AWAW^*-TRO (respectively, an injective operator space) has an ideal decomposition, that is, it can be decomposed into the direct sum of a left ideal, a right ideal, and a two-sided ideal in an AWAW^*-algebra (respectively, an injective CC^*-algebra). In particular, we observe that AWAW^*-TRO, hence an injective operator space, has an algebrization which admits a quasi-identity.
