Centralizer near-rings determined by PID-modules. II (Q1314901)

[For part I cf. Arch. Math. 56, No. 2, 140-147 (1991; Zbl 0706.16026).] The authors answer an open problem in radical theory by giving an example of a zero-symmetric simple near-ring with identity such that \(J_ 2(N) = N\). This is in contrast to the situation for rings, since every simple ring with identity is semisimple in the sense of Jacobson.
