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 the complement of the zero-divisor graph of a finite commutative ring [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we provide the answer of the question (ii) raised by Osba and Alkam in [11] and prove that [Formula: see text] is a divisor graph if [Formula: see text] is a local ring. It is shown that when [Formula: see text] is a product of two local rings, then [Formula: see text] is a divisor graph if one of them is an integral domain. Further, if [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is a divisor graph.

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring of odd characteristic and let $V$ be a free $R$-module of finite rank. We classify symmetric inner products defined on $V$ up to congruence and find the number of such symmetric inner products. Additionally, if $R$ is a finite local ring, the number of congruent symmetric inner products defined on $V$ in each congruence class is determined.

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with unity. The cozero-divisor graph of [Formula: see text] denoted by [Formula: see text] is a graph with the vertex set [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the set of all nonzero and non-unit elements of [Formula: see text], and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] denote the clique number and the chromatic number of [Formula: see text], respectively. In this paper, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a finite commutative ring, then [Formula: see text] is perfect. Also, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a commutative Artinian non-local ring and [Formula: see text] is finite, then [Formula: see text]. For Artinian local ring, we obtain an upper bound for the chromatic number of cozero-divisor graph. Among other results, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a commutative ring, then [Formula: see text] is a complete bipartite graph if and only if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are fields. Moreover, we present some results on the complete [Formula: see text]-partite cozero-divisor graphs.

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 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.

In § 1 of this note we first define the trace of an endomorphism of a projective module P over a non-commutative ring A. Then we call the trace of the identity the rank element r(P) of P, which we shall illustrate by several examples. For a projective module P over the groupalgebra of a finite group G, the rank element of P is essentially the character of G in P. In § 2 we prove that under certain assumption two projective modules Pi and P2 over an algebra over a complete local ring o are isomorphic if and only if their rank elements are identical. This is a type of proposition asserting that two representations are equivalent if and only if their characters are identical, and in fact, when A is the groupalgebra, the above theorem may be considered as another formulation of Swan’s local theorem [9]).

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.
