In (3, p. 85) we denned a Baer semigroup to be a multiplicative semigroup with 0 having the property that the left (right) annihilator of every element is a principal left (right) ideal generated by an idempotent. We showed (3, Lemma 1(vi) and Theorem 5, p. 86) that with set inclusion as the partial order, the set of left annihilators and the set of right annihilators of elements of a Baer semigroup form dual isomorphic lattices with 0 and 1.
