Abstract

We characterize certain properties in a matrix ordered space in order to order embed it in a $C^{\ast}$-algebra. Let such spaces be called $C^{\ast}$-ordered operator spaces. We show that for every self-adjoint operator space there exists a matrix order (on it) to make it a $C^{\ast}$-ordered operator space. However, the operator space dual of a (non-trivial) $C^{\ast}$-ordered operator space can not be embedded in any $C^{\ast}$-algebra.
