In this paper, the probability that two elements of a finite ring have product zero is considered. The bounds of this probability are found for an arbitrary finite commutative ring with identity 1. An explicit formula for this probability in the case of, the ring of integers modulo, is obtained.

AbstractLet R be a finite commutative ring. The set $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)$$ F ( R ) of polynomial functions on R is a finite commutative ring with pointwise operations. Its group of units $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)^\times $$ F ( R ) × is just the set of all unit-valued polynomial functions. We investigate polynomial permutations on $$R[x]/(x^2)=R[\alpha ]$$ R [ x ] / ( x 2 ) = R [ α ] , the ring of dual numbers over R, and show that the group $${\mathcal{P}}_{R}(R[\alpha ])$$ P R ( R [ α ] ) , consisting of those polynomial permutations of $$R[\alpha ]$$ R [ α ] represented by polynomials in R[x], is embedded in a semidirect product of $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)^\times $$ F ( R ) × by the group $${\mathcal{P}}(R)$$ P ( R ) of polynomial permutations on R. In particular, when $$R={\mathbb{F}}_q$$ R = F q , we prove that $${\mathcal{P}}_{{\mathbb{F}}_q}({\mathbb{F}}_q[\alpha ])\cong {\mathcal{P}}({\mathbb{F}}_q) \ltimes _\theta {{\mathcal{F}}}({\mathbb{F}}_q)^\times $$ P F q ( F q [ α ] ) ≅ P ( F q ) ⋉ θ F ( F q ) × . Furthermore, we count unit-valued polynomial functions on the ring of integers modulo $${p^n}$$ p n and obtain canonical representations for these functions.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring. We denote by [Formula: see text] the probability that the multiplication of two randomly chosen elements of [Formula: see text] is zero. In this paper, we show that either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] for any ring [Formula: see text] and determine all rings [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Also, we obtain the structures of rings [Formula: see text] having maximum or minimum value of [Formula: see text] among all rings with identity of the same size. We characterize all rings [Formula: see text] with identity such that [Formula: see text]. Finally, we compute [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a PIR local ring.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we give a necessary condition for the existence of an orthogonal decomposition of the special linear Lie algebra over [Formula: see text]. Additionally, we study orthogonal decompositions of the symplectic Lie algebra and the special orthogonal Lie algebra over [Formula: see text].

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring without identity. In this paper, we characterize all finite commutative rings without identity, whose zero-divisor graphs are unicyclic, claw-free and tree. Also, we obtain all finite commutative rings without identity and of cube-free order for which the corresponding zero-divisor graph is toroidal.

Let [Formula: see text] denote the unitary homogeneous bi-Cayley graph over a finite commutative ring [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the energy of [Formula: see text] and that of its complement and line graph, and characterize when such graphs are hyperenergetic. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for [Formula: see text] (respectively, the complement of [Formula: see text], the line graph of [Formula: see text]) to be Ramanujan.

The Jacobson group of a ring R (denoted by  = (R)) is the normal subgroup of the group of units of R (denoted by G(R)) obtained by adding 1 to the Jacobson radical of R (J(R)). Coleman and Easdown in 2000 showed that the Jacobson group is complemented in the group of units of any finite commutative ring and also in the group of units a n × n matrix ring over integers modulo ps, when n = 2 and p = 2, 3, but it is not complemented when p ≥ 5. In 2004 Wilcox showed that the answer is positive also for n = 3 and p = 2, and negative in all the remaining cases. In this paper we offer a different proof for Wilcox's results and also generalise the results to a matrix ring over an arbitrary finite commutative ring. We show this by studying the generators and relations that define a matrix ring over a field. We then proceed to examine the complementation of the Jacobson group in the matrix rings over graded rings and prove that complementation depends only on the 0-th grade.

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. The Jacobson graph of R denoted by 𝔍R is a graph with the vertex set R\J(R), and two distinct vertices x, y ∈ V(𝔍R) are adjacent if and only if 1 - xy ∉ U(R), where U(R) is the set of all unit elements of R. Let ω(𝔍R) denote the clique number of 𝔍R. It was conjectured that if [Formula: see text] is a commutative finite ring and (Ri, 𝔪i) is a local ring, for i = 1, …, n, then [Formula: see text], where Fi = Ri/𝔪i, for i = 1, …, n. In this paper, we prove that if R is a commutative ring (not necessarily finite) and R is not a field, then ω(𝔍R) = max 𝔪∈ Max (R) |𝔪| and using this we show that the aforementioned conjecture holds.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring with nonzero identity and [Formula: see text] be the set of all units of [Formula: see text] The graph [Formula: see text] is the simple undirected graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] in which two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if there exists a unit element [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is a unit in [Formula: see text] In this paper, we obtain degree of all vertices in [Formula: see text] and in turn provide a necessary and sufficient condition for [Formula: see text] to be Eulerian. Also, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the complement [Formula: see text] to be Eulerian, Hamiltonian and planar.

AbstractIf n and m are positive integers, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a finite commutative ring R with exactly n elements and exactly m prime ideals. Next, assuming the Axiom of Choice, it is proved that if R is a commutative ring and T is a commutative R-algebra which is generated by a set I, then each chain of prime ideals of T lying over the same prime ideal of R has at most 2|I| elements. A polynomial ring example shows that the preceding result is best-possible.
