Let be a commutative ring with identity which has at least two nonzero zero-divisors. Suppose that the complement of the zero-divisor graph of has at least one edge. Under the above assumptions on , it is shown in this paper that the complement of the zero-divisor graph of is complemented if and only if is isomorphic to as rings. Moreover, if is not isomorphic to as rings, then, it is shown that in the complement of the zero-divisor graph of , either no vertex admits a complement or there are exactly two vertices which admit a complement.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of the associate class graph of zero-divisors of a commutative ring [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. Some properties of [Formula: see text], including the diameter, the connectivity and the girth are investigated. Utilizing this graph, we present a new class of counterexamples of Beck’s conjecture on the chromatic number of the zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring.

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.

The concept of the zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring has been studied by many authors, and thek-zero-divisor hypergraph of a commutative ring is a nice abstraction of this concept. Though some of the proofs in this paper are long and detailed, any reader familiar with zero-divisors will be able to read through the exposition and find many of the results quite interesting. LetRbe a commutative ring andkan integer strictly larger than2. Ak-uniform hypergraphHk(R)with the vertex setZ(R,k), the set of allk-zero-divisors inR, is associated toR, where eachk-subset ofZ(R,k)that satisfies thek-zero-divisor condition is an edge inHk(R). It is shown that ifRhas two prime idealsP1andP2with zero their only common point, thenHk(R)is a bipartite (2-colorable) hypergraph with partition setsP1−Z′andP2−Z′, whereZ′is the set of all zero divisors ofRwhich are notk-zero-divisors inR. IfRhas a nonzero nilpotent element, then a lower bound for the clique number ofH3(R)is found. Also, we have shown thatH3(R)is connected with diameter at most 4 wheneverx2≠0for all3-zero-divisorsxofR. Finally, it is shown that for any finite nonlocal ringR, the hypergraphH3(R)is complete if and only ifRis isomorphic toZ2×Z2×Z2.

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.

In this paper, we introduce a new graph whose vertices are the non-zero zero-divisors of a commutative ring R, and for distincts elements x and y in the set Z(R)* of the non-zero zero-divisors of R, x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0 or x + y ∈ Z(R). We present some properties and examples of this graph, and we study its relationship with the zero-divisor graph and with a subgraph of the total graph of a commutative ring.

Given a commutative ring R with identity 1≠0, let the set Z(R) denote the set of zero-divisors and let Z*(R)=Z(R)∖{0} be the set of non-zero zero-divisors of R. The zero-divisor graph of R, denoted by Γ(R), is a simple graph whose vertex set is Z*(R) and each pair of vertices in Z*(R) are adjacent when their product is 0. In this article, we find the structure and Laplacian spectrum of the zero-divisor graphs Γ(Zn) for n=pN1qN2, where p<q are primes and N1,N2 are positive integers.

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and let Z R be its set of zero divisors. The zero-divisor graph of R is the graph Γ R with vertex set V Γ R = Z R ∗ , where Z R ∗ = Z R \ 0 , and edge set E Γ R = x , y :   x ⋅ y = 0 . One of the basic results for these graphs is that Γ R is connected with diameter less than or equal to 3. In this paper, we obtain a few distance-based topological polynomials and indices of zero-divisor graph when the commutative ring is ℤ p 2 q 2 , namely, the Wiener index, the Hosoya polynomial, and the Shultz and the modified Shultz indices and polynomials.

In this paper, we initiate the study of the total zero-divisor graph over a commutative ring with unity. This graph is constructed by both relations that arise from the zero-divisor graph and from the total graph of a ring and give a joint insight of the structure of zero-divisors in a ring. We characterize Artinian rings with the connected total zero-divisor graphs and give their diameters. Moreover, we compute major characteristics of the total zero-divisor graph of the ring [Formula: see text] of integers modulo [Formula: see text] and prove that the total zero-divisor graphs of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are isomorphic if and only if [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 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.

The Relationship

Let R be a commutative ring with identity admitting at least two nonzero zero-divisors. First, in this article we determine when the complement of the zero-divisor graph of R is connected and also determine its diameter when it is connected. Second, in this article we study the relationship between the connectedness of the complement of the zero-divisor graph of R to that of the connectedness of the complement of the zero-divisor graph of T where either T = R[x] or T = R[[x]] and we study the relationship between their diameters in the case when both the graphs are connected. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate some of the results proved in this article.
