We study the co maximal graph Ω(R), the induced subgraph Γ(R) of Ω(R) whose vertex set is R∖(U(R)∪J(R)), and a retract Γr(R) of Γ(R), where R is a commutative ring. For a graph Γ(R) which contains a cycle, we show that the core of Γ(R) is a union of triangles and rectangles, while a vertex in Γ(R) is either an end vertex or a vertex in the core. For a nonlocal ring R, we prove that both the chromatic number and clique number of Γ(R) are identical with the number of maximal ideals of R. A graph Γr(R) is also introduced on the vertex set {Rx∣x∈R∖(U(R)∪J(R))}, and graph properties of Γr(R) are studied.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. In this paper, we introduce theweakly nilpotent graph of a commutative ring. The weakly nilpotent graph of R denoted by Γw(R) is a graph with the vertex set R* and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x y ∊ N(R)*, where R* = R \ {0} and N(R)* is the set of all non-zero nilpotent elements of R. In this article, we determine the diameter of weakly nilpotent graph of an Artinian ring. We prove that if Γw(R) is a forest, then Γw(R) is a union of a star and some isolated vertices. We study the clique number, the chromatic number, and the independence number of Γw(R). Among other results, we show that for an Artinian ring R, Γw(R) is not a disjoint union of cycles or a unicyclic graph. For Artinan rings, we determine diam . Finally, we characterize all commutative rings R for which is a cycle, where is the complement of the weakly nilpotent graph of R.

Let R be a commutative ring and 𝔸(R) be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilators. The annihilating-ideal graph of R is defined as the graph 𝔸𝔾(R) with the vertex set 𝔸(R)* = 𝔸(R)\{(0)} and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if IJ = (0). Here, we present some results on the clique number and the chromatic number of the annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring. It is shown that if R is an Artinian ring and ω (𝔸𝔾(R)) = 2, then R is Gorenstein. Also, we investigate commutative rings whose annihilating-ideal graphs are complete or bipartite.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, I its proper ideal and M be a unitary R-module. In this paper, we introduce and study a kind of graph structure of an R-module M with respect to proper ideal I, denoted by ΓI(RM) or simply ΓI(M). It is the (undirected) graph with the vertex set M\{0} and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if [x : M][y : M] ⊆ I. Clearly, the zero-divisor graph of R is a subgraph of Γ0(R); this is an important result on the definition. We prove that if ann R(M) ⊆ I and H is the subgraph of ΓI(M) induced by the set of all non-isolated vertices, then diam (H) ≤ 3 and gr (ΓI(M)) ∈ {3, 4, ∞}. Also, we prove that if Spec (R) and ω(Γ Nil (R)(M)) are finite, then χ(Γ Nil (R)(M)) ≤ ∣ Spec (R)∣ + ω(Γ Nil (R)(M)). Moreover, for a secondary R-module M and prime ideal P, we determine the chromatic number and the clique number of ΓP(M), where ann R(M) ⊆ P. Among other results, it is proved that for a semisimple R-module M with ann R(M) ⊆ I, ΓI(M) is a forest if and only if ΓI(M) is a union of isolated vertices or a star.

In this paper, a new kind of graph on a commutative ring R with identity, namely the co-maximal ideal graph is defined and studied. We use [Formula: see text] to denote this graph, with its vertices the proper ideals of R which are not contained in the Jacobson radical of R, and two vertices I1 and I2 are adjacent if and only if I1 + I2 = R. We show some properties of this graph. For example, this graph is a simple, connected graph with diameter less than or equal to three, and both the clique number and the chromatic number of the graph are equal to the number of maximal ideals of the ring R.

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 ann[Formula: see text] is an essential ideal. It is proved that [Formula: see text] is connected with diameter at most three and with girth at most four, if [Formula: see text] contains a cycle. Furthermore, rings with complete or star essential graphs are characterized. Also, we study the affinity between essential graph and zero-divisor graph that is associated with a ring. Finally, we show that the essential graph associated with an Artinian ring is weakly perfect, i.e. its vertex chromatic number equals its clique number.

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 annihilator graph of [Formula: see text] is defined as the graph AG[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 ann[Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study annihilator graphs of rings with equal clique number and chromatic number. For some classes of rings, we give an explicit formula for the clique number of annihilator graphs. Among other results, bipartite annihilator graphs of rings are characterized. Furthermore, some results on annihilator graphs with finite clique number are given.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with identity which is not an integral domain. An ideal [Formula: see text] of a ring [Formula: see text] is called an annihilating ideal if there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a simple undirect graph associated with [Formula: see text] whose vertex set is the set of all nonzero annihilating ideals of [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] are joined if and only if [Formula: see text] is also an annihilating ideal of [Formula: see text]. A perfect graph is a graph in which the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of the largest clique of that subgraph. In this paper, we characterize all rings whose [Formula: see text] is perfect.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The nilpotent graph of R, denoted by ΓN(R), is a graph with vertex set ZN(R)∗, and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy is nilpotent, where ZN(R) = {x ∈ R∣xy is nilpotent, for some y ∈ R∗}. A perfect graph is a graph in which the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of the largest clique of that subgraph. In this paper, we characterize all rings whose ΓN(R) is perfect. In addition, it is shown that for a ring R, if R is Artinian, then ω(ΓN(R)) = χ(ΓN(R)) = |Nil(R)∗| + |Max(R)|.

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).
