When the annihilator-ideal graph is planar or complete bipartite graph

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with identity and [Formula: see text] be the set of ideals of [Formula: see text] with nonzero annihilator. The annihilator-ideal graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is a simple graph with the vertex set [Formula: see text], and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we present some results on the bipartite, complete bipartite, outer planar and unicyclic of the annihilator-ideal graphs of a commutative ring. Among other results, bipartite annihilator-ideal graphs of rings are characterized. Also, we investigate planarity of the annihilator-ideal graph and classify rings whose annihilator-ideal graph is planar.
