On the inclusion $\cO_2 \subset \cQ_2$

The diadic $C^*$-algebra $\cQ_2$ contains canonically a copy of the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$. It is shown that the inclusion $\cO_2 \subset \cQ_2$ is $C^*$-irreducible and rigid. It follows that the injective envelopes of these two $C^*$-algebras are $*$-isomorphic.
