Synopsis

The connection between the structure of a near-ring and that of the group on which it acts is used to obtain results concerning the structure of near-rings. A generalized R series is defined for an R module, where R is a zero-symmetric left near-ring, and it is shown that all R modules have maximal R series. The idea of a near-ring which annihilates a series is introduced and some easy consequences of the definition are pointed out. Semi-primitive near-rings are introduced and a general structural result connecting the last two ideas is given. Some special cases which generalize earlier results on endomorphism near-rings are stated. Finally some of the limitations of the idea of semi-primitive near-rings are shown, and some applications are given, in particular to the endomorphism near-rings of soluble groups and of the symmetric groups.
