Synopsis

In a previous publication we investigated certain idempotent residuated mappings and showed how these could be used to provide a solution to the problem of finding a Baer semigroup coordinatisation of bounded modular lattices. Here we use essentially the same idempotents to provide a coordinatisation of bounded distributive lattices. Specifically, we prove that a bounded lattice L is distributive if and only if it can be coordinatised by a Baer semigroup S such that if eS, fS, gS ∈ R(S) with eS ∩ fS = eS ∩ gS then there are idempotents ē, , ∈ S such that ēS = eS, S = fS, S = gS and ē commutes with both and .
