We classify modules and rings with some specific properties of their intersection graphs. In particular, we describe rings with infinite intersection graphs containing maximal left ideals of finite degree. This answers a question raised in [S. Akbari, R. Nikandish and J. Nikmehr, Some results on the intersection graphs of ideals of rings, J. Algebra Appl. 12 (2013) 1250200]. We also generalize this result to modules, i.e. we get the structure theorem of modules for which their intersection graphs are infinite and contain maximal submodules of finite degree. Furthermore, we omit the assumption of maximality of submodules and still get a satisfactory characterization of such modules. In addition, we show that if the intersection graph of a module is infinite but its clique number is finite, then the clique and chromatic numbers of the graph coincide. This fact was known earlier only in some particular cases. It appears that such equality holds also in the complement graph.

Let $G$ be the intersection graph of a finite family of convex sets obtained by translations of a fixed convex set in the plane. We show that every such graph with clique number $k$ is $(3k-3)$-degenerate. This bound is sharp. As a consequence, we derive that $G$ is $(3k-2)$-colorable. We show also that the chromatic number of every intersection graph $H$ of a family of homothetic copies of a fixed convex set in the plane with clique number $k$ is at most $6k-6$.

In this paper, it is proved that the complement of the zero-divisor graph of a partially ordered set is weakly perfect if it has finite clique number, completely answering the question raised by Joshi and Khiste [‘Complement of the zero divisor graph of a lattice’,Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 89(2014), 177–190]. As a consequence, the intersection graph of an intersection-closed family of nonempty subsets of a set is weakly perfect if it has finite clique number. These results are applied to annihilating-ideal graphs and intersection graphs of submodules.

Let R be a ring with unity and I(R)* be the set of all nontrivial left ideals of R. The intersection graph of ideals of R, denoted by G(R), is a graph with the vertex set I(R)* and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if I ∩ J ≠ 0. In this paper, we study some connections between the graph-theoretic properties of this graph and some algebraic properties of rings. We characterize all rings whose intersection graphs of ideals are not connected. Also we determine all rings whose clique number of the intersection graphs of ideals is finite. Among other results, it is shown that for a ring R, if the clique number of G(R) is finite, then the chromatic number is finite and if R is a reduced ring, then both are equal.

An intersection graph defines an adjacency relation between subsets $S_1,\dots, S_n$ of a finite set $W=\{w_1,\dots, w_m\}$: the subsets $S_i$ and $S_j$ are adjacent if they intersect. Assuming that the subsets are drawn independently at random according to the probability distribution $\mathbb{P}(S_i=A)=P(|A|){\binom{m}{|A|}}^{-1}$, $A\subseteq W$, where $P$ is a probability on $\{0, 1, \dots, m\}$, we obtain the random intersection graph $G=G(n,m,P)$. We establish  the asymptotic order of the clique number $\omega(G)$ of  a sparse random intersection graph as $n,m\to+\infty$. For $m = \Theta(n)$ we show that the maximum clique is of size $(1-\alpha/2)^{-\alpha/2}n^{1-\alpha/2}(\ln n)^{-\alpha/2}(1+o_P(1))$ in the case where the asymptotic degree distribution of $G$ is a power-law with exponent $\alpha \in (1,2)$. It is of size $\frac {\ln n} {\ln \ln n}(1+o_P(1))$ if the degree distribution has bounded variance, i.e., $\alpha>2$. We construct a simple polynomial-time algorithm which finds a clique of the optimal order $\omega(G) (1-o_P(1))$.

Abstract In this short note, we prove the following analog of the Kővári–Sós–Turán theorem for intersection graphs of boxes. If G is the intersection graph of n axis-parallel boxes in $${{\mathbb{R}}^d}$$ such that G contains no copy of K t,t , then G has at most ctn( log n)2d+3 edges, where c = c(d)>0 only depends on d. Our proof is based on exploring connections between boxicity, separation dimension and poset dimension. Using this approach, we also show that a construction of Basit, Chernikov, Starchenko, Tao and Tran of K2,2-free incidence graphs of points and rectangles in the plane can be used to disprove a conjecture of Alon, Basavaraju, Chandran, Mathew and Rajendraprasad. We show that there exist graphs of separation dimension 4 having superlinear number of edges.

The intersection graph ITΓ(R) of gamma sets in the total graph TΓ(R) of a commutative ring R, is the undirected graph with vertex set as the collection of all γ-sets in the total graph of R and two distinct vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if u ∩ v ≠ ∅. Tamizh Chelvam and Asir [The intersection graph of gamma sets in the total graph I, to appear in J. Algebra Appl.] studied about ITΓ(R) where R is a commutative Artin ring. In this paper, we continue our interest on ITΓ(R) and actually we study about Eulerian, Hamiltonian and pancyclic nature of ITΓ(R). Further, we focus on certain graph theoretic parameters of ITΓ(R) like the independence number, the clique number and the connectivity of ITΓ(R). Also, we obtain both vertex and edge chromatic numbers of ITΓ(R). In fact, it is proved that if R is a finite commutative ring, then χ(ITΓ(R)) = ω(ITΓ(R)). Having proved that ITΓ(R) is weakly perfect for all finite commutative rings, we further characterize all finite commutative rings for which ITΓ(R) is perfect. In this sequel, we characterize all commutative Artin rings for which ITΓ(R) is of class one (i.e. χ′(ITΓ(R)) = Δ(ITΓ(R))). Finally, it is proved that the vertex connectivity and edge connectivity of ITΓ(R) are equal to the degree of any vertex in ITΓ(R).

We study isolated vertices and connectivity in the random intersection graph . A Poisson convergence for the number of isolated vertices is determined at the threshold for absence of isolated vertices, which is equivalent to the threshold for connectivity. When and , we give the asymptotic probability of connectivity at the threshold for connectivity. Analogous results are well known in Erdős-Rényi random graphs.

Let S be a semigroup. This paper studies the intersection graphs of fuzzy semigroups. It is shown that the fuzzy intersection graph Int(G(S)), of S, is complete if and only if S is power joined. If Γ(S) denotes the set of all fuzzy right ideals of S, then the fuzzy intersection graph Int(Γ(S)) is complete if and only if S is fuzzy right uniform. Moreover, it is shown that Int(Γ(S)) is chordal if and only if for a,b,c,d ∈ S, some pair from {a,b,c,d} has a right common multiple property. It is also shown that if Int(G(S)) is complete and S has the acc on subsemigroups, then S is cyclic.

We study the interplay between the maximum genus of a graph and bases of its cycle space via the corresponding intersection graph. Our main results show that the matching number of the intersection graph is independent of the basis precisely when the graph is upper-embeddable, and completely describe the range of matching numbers when the graph is not upper-embeddable. Particular attention is paid to cycle bases consisting of fundamental cycles with respect to a given spanning tree. For $4$-edge-connected graphs, the intersection graph with respect to any spanning tree (and, in fact, with respect to any basis) has either a perfect matching or a matching missing exactly one vertex. We show that if a graph is not $4$-edge-connected, different spanning trees may lead to intersection graphs with different matching numbers. We also show that there exist $2$-edge connected graphs for which the set of values of matching numbers of their intersection graphs contains arbitrarily large gaps.

We study the evolution of the order of the largest component in the random intersection graph model which reflects some clustering properties of real–world networks. We show that for appropriate choice of the parameters random intersection graphs differ from $G_{n,p}$ in that neither the so-called giant component, appearing when the expected vertex degree gets larger than one, has linear order nor is the second largest of logarithmic order. We also describe a test of our result on a protein similarity network.
