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.

Some finite directly indecomposable non-monogenic entropic quasigroups with quasi-identity
In this paper we show that there exists an infinite family of pairwise non-isomorphic entropic quasigroups with quasi-identity which are directly indecomposable and they are two-generated. Keywords: quasigroups, entropic...
Generalized derivations in prime rings and Banach algebras
Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C, F a generalized derivation of R and n ≥ 1, m ≥ 1 fixed integers. In this paper we study the situations: 1. (F(x ◦ y))m = (x ◦ y) n for all x, y ∈ I, where I is a nonzero id...
Relative determinant of a bilinear module
The aim of the paper is to generalize the (ultra-classical) notion of the determinant of a bilinear form to the class of bilinear forms on projective modules without assuming that the determinant bundle of the module is...
VARIETIES OF REGULAR ALGEBRAS AND UNRANKED TREE LANGUAGES
In this paper we develop a variety theory for unranked tree languages and unranked algebras. In an unranked tree any symbol may label a node with any number of successors. Such trees appear in markup languages such as XM...
