Relative Essential Ideals in N-groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be an $N$-group where $N$ is a (right) nearring. We introduce the concept of relative essential ideal (or $N$-subgroup) as a generalization of the concept of essential submodule of a module over a ring or a nearring. We provide suitable examples to distinguish the notions relative essential and essential ideals. We prove the important properties and obtain equivalent conditions for the relative essential ideals (or $N$-subgroups) involving the quotient. Further, we derive results on direct sums, complement ideals of $N$-groups and obtain their properties under homomorphism.
