On zero-symmetric nearrings with identity whose additive groups are simple

We investigate conditions on an infinite simple group in order to construct a zero-symmetric nearring with identity on it. Using the Higman-Neumann-Neumann extensions and Clay’s characterization, we obtain zero-symmetric nearrings with identity with the additive groups infinite simple groups. We also show that no zero-symmetric nearring with identity can have the symmetric group Sym(ℕ) as its additive group.
