All difference family structures arise from groups

Planar nearrings have been used to define classes of 2-designs since Ferrero's work in 1970. These 2-designs are a class of difference families. Recent work from Pianta has generalised Ferrero and Clay's work with planar nearrings to investigate planar nearrings with nonassociative additiv...
