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 HOMOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SKEW P BW EXTENSIONS ARISING IN NON-COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY
In this short paper we study for the skew P BW (Poincar-Birkhoff-Witt) extensions some homological properties arising in non-commutative algebraic geometry, namely, Auslander-Gorenstein regularity, Cohen-Macaulayness and...
Congruences and Trajectories in Planar Semimodular Lattices
A 1955 result of J. Jakub´ık states that for the prime intervals p and q of a finite lattice, con(p) ≥ con(q) iff p is congruence-projective to q (via intervals of arbitrary size). The problem is how to determine whether...
The Clifford semiring congruences on an additive regular semiring
A congruence ρ on a semiring S is called a (generalized)Clifford semiring congruence if S/ρ is a (generalized)Clifford semiring. Here we characterize the (generalized)Clifford congruences on a semiring whose additive red...
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...
COMMUTATIVITY OF PRIME RINGS WITH SYMMETRIC BIDERIVATIONS
The present paper shows some results on the commutativity of R: Let R be a prime ring and for any nonzero ideal I of R, if R admits a biderivation B such that it satisfies any one of the following properties (i) B([x, y]...
