In this paper, the problem of nontrivial nearring multiplications on g
roups is closely investigated with a different approach. By using the
notions of S,0-acts and the language of model theory, we give a detail
ed discussion on a large class of groups that possesses nontrivial nea
rring multiplications. In the last section, we apply our results to th
e theory of centralizer nearrings of a single endomorphism which is ma
inly due to the work of C. Maxson and K. Smith [28, 29].
