Lifting idempotents in near-rings (Q1100543)

Let R be a left, zero-symmetric near-ring satisfying the descending chain condition on right R-subgroups. If I is an ideal of R and \(\epsilon\) is an idempotent in \(R/I=\bar R\), the author shows that there exists an idempotent e in R such that ē\(=\epsilon\). He further shows that if I is nilpotent and \(\epsilon\) is a primitive idempotent, then \(\epsilon\) may be lifted to a primitive idempotent e in R and that liftings of primitive idempotents when I is nilpotent preserve isomorphism in the sense that ē\=R is isomorphic to \=f\=R (f a primitive idempotent of R) if and only if eR is isomorphic to fR. Finally he obtains that sets of orthogonal idempotents may be lifted to sets of orthogonal idempotents and that sets of primitive orthogonal idempotents can be lifted to sets of primitive orthogonal idempotents when I is nilpotent.
