Bourbaki

Exercise 4, § 3

Algebra, I, 130

Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.

Let ⊤\top and ⊥\perp be two internal laws on EE, each with an identity element; if the left action of EE on itself derived from each of the laws is distributive with respect to the other, every element of EE is idempotent under both these laws (if ee is the identity element for ⊤\top, uu the identity element for ⊥\perp, prove first that e⊥e=ee \perp e = e, noting that e=e⊥(u⊤e)e = e \perp (u \top e)).
