A ring R with unity is called a (quasi-) Baer ring if the left annihilator of every (left ideal) nonempty subset of R is generated (as a left ideal) by an idempotent. Armendariz has shown that if R is a reduced PI-ring whose centre is Baer, then R is Baer. We generalise his result by considering the broader question: when does the (quasi-) Baer condition extend to a ring from a subring? Also it is well known that a regular ring is Baer if and only if its lattice of principal right ideals is complete. Analogously, we prove that a biregular ring is quasi-Baer if and only if its lattice of principal ideals is complete.
