The generalized center decomposition conjecture for derived planar nearrings

Let FF be a nearfield with kern KK, and let VV be a finite-dimensional FF-nearvector space defining a derived planar nearring. Suppose that

V=V1VnV=V_1\oplus\dots\oplus V_n

is its regular decomposition, with Vi=FniV_i=F^{n_i}.

Generalized center decomposition conjecture. The generalized center satisfies

D(V)=D(V1)D(Vn),D(V)=D(V_1)\oplus\dots\oplus D(V_n),

with

D(Vi)=Kni.D(V_i)=K^{n_i}.

This predicts that the generalized center of the derived planar nearring decomposes according to the regular components of the underlying nearvector space, with each component determined by the kern of the nearfield. The supplied text gives examples supporting this behavior, but does not state that the general claim has been proved.
