Given a certain factorization property of a ring [Formula: see text], we can ask if this property extends to the polynomial ring over [Formula: see text] or vice versa. For example, it is well known that [Formula: see text] is a unique factorization domain if and only if [Formula: see text] is a unique factorization domain. If [Formula: see text] is not a domain, this is no longer true. In this paper, we survey unique factorization in commutative rings with zero divisors, and characterize when a polynomial ring over an arbitrary commutative ring has unique factorization.

Let [Formula: see text] be an associative ring with identity. A right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is said to have Property ([Formula: see text]), if each finitely generated ideal [Formula: see text] has a nonzero annihilator in [Formula: see text]. Evans [Zero divisors in Noetherian-like rings, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 155(2) (1971) 505–512.] proved that, over a commutative ring, zero-divisor modules have Property ([Formula: see text]). We study and construct various classes of modules with Property ([Formula: see text]). Following Anderson and Chun [McCoy modules and related modules over commutative rings, Comm. Algebra 45(6) (2017) 2593–2601.], we introduce [Formula: see text]-dual McCoy modules and show that, for every strictly totally ordered monoid [Formula: see text], faithful symmetric modules are [Formula: see text]-dual McCoy. We then use this notion to give a characterization for modules with Property ([Formula: see text]). For a faithful symmetric right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] and a strictly totally ordered monoid [Formula: see text], it is proved that the right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is primal if and only if [Formula: see text] is primal with Property ([Formula: see text]).

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with identity and let [Formula: see text] be the set of zero-divisors of [Formula: see text]. The essential graph of [Formula: see text] is defined as the graph [Formula: see text] with the vertex set [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text] is an essential ideal. In this paper, we classify all finite commutative rings with identity for which the genus of [Formula: see text] is two.

AbstractThe zero-divisor graph Γ(R) of a commutative ring R is the graph whose vertices consist of the nonzero zero-divisors of R such that distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0. In this paper, a characterization is provided for zero-divisor graphs of Boolean rings. Also, commutative rings R such that Γ(R) is isomorphic to the zero-divisor graph of a direct product of integral domains are classified, as well as those whose zero-divisor graphs are central vertex complete.

Results of Davis on normal pairs (R, T) of domains are generalized to (commutative) rings with nontrivial zero-divisors, particularly complemented rings. For instance, if T is a ring extension of an almost quasilocal complemented ring R, then (R, T) is a normal pair if and only if there is a prime ideal P of R such that T = R[P], R/P is a valuation domain and PT = P. Examples include sufficient conditions for the "normal pair" property to be stable under formation of infinite products and ⋈ constructions.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with Z*(R) as the set of non-zero zero divisors. The zero divisor graph of R, denoted by Γ(R), is the graph whose vertex set is Z*(R), where two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0. In this paper, we investigate the metric dimension dim(Γ(R)) and upper dimension dim+(Γ(R)) of zero divisor graphs of commutative rings. For zero divisor graphs Γ(R) associated to finite commutative rings R with unity 1 ≠ 0, we conjecture that dim+(Γ(R)) = dim(Γ(R)), with one exception that {\rm{R}} \cong \Pi {\rm\mathbb{Z}}_2^{\rm{n}}, n ≥ 4. We prove that this conjecture is true for several classes of rings. We also provide combinatorial formulae for computing the metric and upper dimension of zero divisor graphs of certain classes of commutative rings besides giving bounds for the upper dimension of zero divisor graphs of rings.

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with identity and [Formula: see text] be the set of all nonzero zero-divisors of [Formula: see text]. The annihilator graph of commutative ring [Formula: see text] is the simple undirected graph [Formula: see text] with vertices [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text]. The essential graph of [Formula: see text] is defined as the graph [Formula: see text] with the vertex set [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text] is an essential ideal. In this paper, we classify all finite commutative rings with identity whose annihilator graph and essential graph have crosscap two.

In this paper, we continue the program initiated by I. Beck's now classical paper concerning zero-divisor graphs of commutative rings. After the success of much research regarding zero-divisor graphs, many authors have turned their attention to studying divisor graphs of non-zero elements in integral domains. This inspired the so called irreducible divisor graph of an integral domain studied by J. Coykendall and J. Maney. Factorization in rings with zero-divisors is considerably more complicated than integral domains and has been widely studied recently. We find that many of the same techniques can be extended to rings with zero-divisors. In this article, we construct several distinct irreducible divisor graphs of a commutative ring with zero-divisors. This allows us to use graph theoretic properties to help characterize finite factorization properties of commutative rings, and conversely.
