ZERO-DIVISOR GRAPHS OF REDUCED RICKART ∗-RINGS
Journal Title: Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 37, Issue 1
Abstract
For a ring A with an involution ∗, the zero-divisor graph of A, Γ∗ (A), is the graph whose vertices are the nonzero left zero-divisors in A such that distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy∗ = 0. In this paper, we study the zero-divisor graph of a Rickart ∗-ring having no nonzero nilpotent element. The distance, diameter, and cycles of Γ∗ (A) are characterized in terms of the collection of prime strict ideals of A. In fact, we prove that the clique number of Γ∗(A) coincides with the cellularity of the hullkernel topological space Σ(A) of the set of prime strict ideals of A, where cellularity of the topological space is the smallest cardinal number m such that every family of pairwise disjoint non-empty open subsets of the space have cardinality at most m.

The lattice of all regular-solid varieties of semirings splits in two complete sublattices: the sublattice of all idempotent regular-solid varieties of semirings and the sublattice of all normal regular-solid varieties o...
ON THE CONNECTIVITY OF THE ANNIHILATING-IDEAL GRAPHS
Let R be a commutative ring with identity and A∗(R) the set of nonzero ideals with non-zero annihilators. The annihilating-ideal graph of R is defined as the graph AG(R) with the vertex set A∗(R) and two distinct vertice...

IF-FILTERS OF PSEUDO-BL-ALGEBRAS
Characterizations of IF-filters of a pseudo-BL-algebra are established. Some related properties are investigated. The notation of prime IF- filters and a characterization of a pseudo-BL-chain are given. Homomorphisms of...
ON 2-ABSORBING FILTERS OF LATTICES
Let L be a lattice with 1. In this paper we study the concept of 2-absorbing filter which is a generalization of prime filter. A proper filter F of L is called a 2-absorbing filter (resp. a weakly 2-absorbing) if wheneve...
