A Characterization of Left Regularity

Abstract

We show that a zero-symmetric near-ring N is left regular if and only if N is regular and isomorphic to a subdirect product of integral near-rings, where each component is either an Anshel-Clay near-ring or a trivial integral near-ring. We also show that a zero-symmetric near-ring is regular without nonzero nilpotent elements if and only if the multiplicative semigroup of N is a union of disjoint groups.
