Let  be either a reflexive subspace or a bimodule of a reflexive algebra in B (H), the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H. We find some conditions such that a finite rank T ∈  has a rank one summand in  and  has strong decomposability. Let (ℒ) be the set of all operators on H that annihilate all the operators of rank at most one in alg ℒ. We construct an atomic Boolean subspace lattice ℒ on H such that there is a finite rank operator T in (ℒ) such that T does not have a rank one summand in (ℒ). We obtain some lattice-theoretic conditions on a subspace lattice ℒ which imply alg ℒ is strongly decomposable.
