Regular near-rings without non-zero nilpotent elements (Q582365)

The author sets out to characterize regular zero-symmetric near-rings without nonzero nilpotent elements in terms of quasi-ideals. Let N be a zero-symmetric, right distributive near-ring. A quasi-ideal of N is a subgroup Q of \((N,+)\) such that NQ\(\cap QN\subseteq Q\). N is called an S- near-ring if \(n\in Nn\) for all \(n\in N\). N is called regular if, for all \(n\in N\), there exists \(x\in N\) such that \(n=nxn.\) The following statements about N are shown to be equivalent: (1) N is regular and has no nonzero nilpotent elements. (2) N is an S-near-ring, and every quasi-ideal of N is an idempotent right N-subgroup of N. (3) N is an S-near-ring and for any two left N-subgroups \(L_ 1\) and \(L_ 2\) of N, \(L_ 1\cap L_ 2=L_ 1L_ 2\).
