The compressed zero-divisor graph $Γ_C(R)$ associated with a commutative ring $R$ has vertex set equal to the set of equivalence classes $\{ [r] \mid r \in Z(R), r \neq 0 \}$ where $r \sim s$ whenever $ann(r) = ann(s)$. Distinct classes $[r],[s]$ are adjacent in $Γ_C(R)$ if and only if $xy = 0$ for all $x \in [r], y \in [s]$. In this paper, we explore the compressed zero-divisor graph associated with quotient rings of unique factorization domains. Specifically, we prove several theorems which exhibit a method of constructing $Γ(R)$ for when one quotients out by a principal ideal, and prove sufficient conditions for when two such compressed graphs are graph-isomorphic. We show these conditions are not necessary unless one alters the definition of the compressed graph to admit looped vertices, and conjecture necessary and sufficient conditions for two compressed graphs with loops to be isomorphic when considering any quotient ring of a unique factorization domain.
Using the concept of ring of Gelfand range 1 we proved that a commutative Bezout domain is an elementary divisor ring iff it is a ring of Gelfand range 1. Obtained results give a solution of problem of elementary divisor rings for different classes of commutative Bezout domains, in particular, $PM^{*}$, local Gelfand domains and so on.
In this article we revisit a problem regarding Bezout domains, namely, whether every Bezout domain is an elementary divisor domain. We prove that a Bezout domain in which every maximal ideal is principal is an elementary divisor ring
Let S be a commutative ring, x, y $\in$ S a pair of exact zero divisors, and R = S/(x). Let F be a complex of free R-modules. In this paper we explicitly compute cohomological operators of R over S by constructing endomorphisms of F. We consider some properties of these cohomological operators, as well as provide an example in which these cohomological operators act non-trivially.
For an arbitrary ring $R$, the largest strong left quotient ring $Q_l^s(R)$ of $R$ and the strong left localization radical $\glsR$ are introduced and their properties are studied in detail. In particular, it is proved that $Q_l^s(Q_l^s(R))\simeq Q_l^s(R)$, $\gll^s_{R/\glsR}=0$ and a criterion is given for the ring $ Q_l^s(R)$ to be a semisimple ring. There is a canonical homomorphism from the classical left quotient ring $Q_{l, cl}(R)$ to $Q_l^s(R)$ which is not an isomorphism, in general. The objects $Q_l^s(R)$ and $\gll^s_R$ are explicitly described for several large classes of rings (semip…
We extend to rings with zero-divisors the concept of perinormal domain introduced by N. Epstein and J. Shapiro. A ring $A$ is called perinormal if every overring of $A$ which satisfies going down over $A$ is $A$-flat. The Prüfer rings and the Marot Krull rings are perinormal.
Let $R = Z[C]$ be the integral group ring of a finite cyclic group $C$. Dennis and al. proved that $R$ is a generalized Euclidean ring in the sense of P. M. Cohn, i.e., $SL_n(R)$ is generated by the elementary matrices for all $n$. We prove that every proper quotient of $R$ is also a generalized Euclidean ring.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. In this paper, we introduce the cozero-divisor graph $\acuteΓ_I(R)$ of $R$ and obtain some related results.
For an artinian ring $R$, the directed zero-divisor graph $Γ(R)$ is connected if and only if there is no proper one-sided identity element in $R$. Sinks and sources are characterized and clarified for finite ring $R$, especially, it is proved that for {\it any} ring $R$, if there exists a source $b$ in $Γ(R)$ with $b^2=0$, then $|R|=4$ and $R=\{0,a,b,c\}$, where $a$ and $c$ are left identity elements and $ba=0=bc$. Such a ring $R$ is also the only ring such that $Γ(R) $ has exactly one source. This shows that $Γ(R)$ can not be a network for any ring $R$.
In this paper, we continue the program initiated by I. Beck's now classical paper concerning zero-divisor graphs of commutative rings. After the success of much research regarding zero-divisor graphs, many authors have turned their attention to studying divisor graphs of non-zero elements in the ring, the so called irreducible divisor graph. In this paper, we construct several different associated irreducible divisor graphs of a commutative ring with unity using various choices for the definition of irreducible and atomic in the literature. We continue pursuing the program of exploiting the in…
Recently there has been a flurry of research on generalized factorization techniques in both integral domains and rings with zero-divisors, namely $τ$-factorization. There are several ways that authors have studied factorization in rings with zero-divisors. This paper focuses on the method of regular factorizations introduced by D.D. Anderson and S. Valdes-Leon. We investigate how one can extend the notion of $τ$-factorization to commutative rings with zero-divisors by using the regular factorization approach. The study of regular factorization is particularly effective because the distinct no…
Much work has been done on generalized factorization techniques in integral domains, namely $τ$-factorization. There has also been substantial progress made in investigating factorization in commutative rings with zero-divisors. There are many ways authors have decided to study factorization when zero-divisors present. This paper focuses on the method $τ$-complete factorizations developed by D.D. Anderson and A. Frazier. There is a natural way to extend $τ$-complete factorization to commutative rings with zero-divisors. $τ$-complete factorization is a natural way to think of refining factoriza…
Given a certain factorization property of a ring $R$, we can ask if this property extends to the polynomial ring over $R$ or vice versa. For example, it is well known that $R$ is a unique factorization domain if and only if $R[X]$ is a unique factorization domain. If $R$ is not a domain, this is no longer true. In this paper we survey unique factorization in commutative rings with zero divisors, and characterize when a polynomial ring over an arbitrary commutative ring has unique factorization.
Recently substantial progress has been made on generalized factorization techniques in integral domains, in particular $τ$-factorization. There has also been advances made in investigating factorization in commutative rings with zero-divisors. One approach which has been found to be very successful is that of U-factorization introduced by C.R. Fletcher. We seek to synthesize work done in these two areas by generalizing $τ$-factorization to rings with zero-divisors by using the notion of U-factorization.
Much work has been done on generalized factorization techniques in integral domains, namely $τ$-factorization. There has also been substantial progress made in investigating factorization in commutative rings with zero-divisors. This paper seeks to synthesize work done in these two areas and extend the notion of $τ$-factorization to commutative rings that need not be domains. In addition, we look into particular types of $τ$ relations, which are interesting when there are zero-divisors present. We then proceed to classify commutative rings that satisfy the finite factorization properties given…
We investigate eigenvalues of the zero-divisor graph $Γ(R)$ of finite commutative rings $R$ and study the interplay between these eigenvalues, the ring-theoretic properties of $R$ and the graph-theoretic properties of $Γ(R)$. The graph $Γ(R)$ is defined as the graph with vertex set consisting of all non-zero zero-divisors of $R$ and adjacent vertices $x,y$ whenever $xy = 0$. We provide formulas for the nullity of $Γ(R)$, i.e. the multiplicity of the eigenvalue 0 of $Γ(R)$. Moreover, we precisely determine the spectra of $Γ(\mathbb Z_p \times \mathbb Z_p \times \mathbb Z_p)$ and $Γ(\mathbb Z_p …
Polstra showed that the cardinality of the torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of a local strongly $F$-regular ring is finite. We expand upon this result and prove that the reciprocal of the $F$-signature of a local strongly $F$-regular ring $R$ bounds the cardinality of the torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of $R$.
We shall describe the divisor class group and the graded canonical module of the multi-section ring for a normal projective variety X and Weil divisors D_1,..., D_s on X under a mild condition. In the proof, we use the theory of Krull domain and the equivariant twisted inverse functor due to Hashimoto.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $Γ(R)$ denote its zero-divisor graph. In this paper, we investigate the genus number of the compact Riemann surface which $Γ(R)$ can be embedded and illustrate all finite commutative rings $R$ (up to isomorphism) such that $Γ(R)$ is either toroidal or planar.
The global defensive $k$-alliance is a very well studied notion in graph theory, it provides a method of classification of graphs based on relations between members of a particular set of vertices. In this paper we explore this notion in zero-divisor graph of commutative rings. The established results generalize and improve recent work by Muthana and Mamouni who treated a particular case for $k=-1$ known by the global defensive alliance. Various examples are also provided which illustrate and delimit the scope of the established results.
This is a continuation of a previous paper by the same authors. In the former paper, it was proved that in order to obtain local uniformization for valuations centered on local domains, it is enough to prove it for rank one valuations. In this paper, we extend this result to the case of valuations centered on rings which are not necessarily integral domains and may even contain nilpotents.
Let f: A\to B be a ring homomorphism between Noetherian normal integral domains. We establish a general criterion for f to induce a homomorphism Cl(f): Cl(A)\to Cl(B) on divisor class groups. For instance, this criterion applies whenever f has finite flat dimension; this special case generalizes the more classical situations where f is flat or is surjective with kernel generated by an A-regular element. We extend some of Spiroff's work on the kernels of induced maps to this more general setting.
In this paper, we show that it is possible for a commutative ring with identity to be non-atomic (that is, there exist non-zero nonunits that cannot be factored into irreducibles) and yet have a strongly atomic polynomial extension. In particular, we produce a commutative ring with identity, R, that is antimatter (that is, R has no irreducibles whatsoever) such that R[t] is strongly atomic. What is more, given any nonzero nonunit f(t) in R[t] then there is a factorization of f(t) into irreducibles of length no more than deg(f(t)) + 2.
This dissertation focuses on the following topics: (1) asymptotic prime divisors over complete intersection rings, (2) asymptotic stability of complexities over complete intersection rings, (3) asymptotic linear bounds of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity in multigraded modules, and (4) characterizations of regular local rings via syzygy modules of the residue field.
We consider the class of all commutative reduced rings for which there exists a finite subset T of A such that all projections on quotients by prime ideals of A are surjective when restricted to T. A complete structure theorem is given for this class of rings, and it is studied its relation with other finiteness conditions on the quotients of a ring over its prime ideals.
In this paper, we characterize chordal and perfect zero-divisor graphs of finite posets. Also, it is proved that the zero-divisor graphs of finite posets and the complement of zero-divisor graphs of finite $0$-distributive posets satisfy the Total Coloring Conjecture. These results are applied to the zero-divisor graphs of finite reduced rings, the comaximal ideal graph of rings, the annihilating ideal graphs, the intersection graphs of ideals of rings, and the intersection graphs of subgroups of cyclic groups. In fact, it is proved that these graphs associated with a commutative ring $R$ with…
In the present paper, we give some sufficient conditions for $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])$ to be torsionfree, where $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])$ denote the divisor class group of the toric ring $\Bbbk[P]$ of an integral polytope $P$. We prove that $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])$ is torsionfree if $P$ is compressed, and $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])$ is torsionfree if $P$ is a $(0,1)$-polytope which has at most $\dim P+2$ facets. Moreover, we characterize the toric rings of $(0,1)$-polytopes in the case $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])\cong \mathbb{Z}$.
We study the homological behavior of modules over local rings modulo exact zero-divisors. We obtain new results which are in some sense "opposite" to those known for modules over local rings modulo regular elements.
Through examples, we illustrate how to compute differential operators on a quotient of an affine semigroup ring by a radical monomial ideal, when working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.
In 1988, I.Beck showed that the chromatic number of G(Zn) is equal to its clique number.In 2004, S.Akbari and A.Mohammadian proved that the edge chromatic number of G(Zn) is equal to its maximum degree,in 2008, J.Skowronek-kaziow give formulas calculating the clique number and the maximum degree of G(Zn), but he have a error about clique number of G(Zn), we consider the zero-divisor graph G(Zn) of the ring Zn.we give formulas calculating the clique number of G(Zn).We present a constructed method to calculate the clique number.
A Graph-Theoretical Approach to Ring Analysis: An Exploration of Dominant Metric Dimension in Compressed Zero Divisor Graphs and Its Interplay with Ring Structures
In this paper, we introduce a new graph whose vertices are the nonzero zero-divisors of commutative ring $R$ and for distincts elements $x$ and $y$ in the set $Z(R)^{\star}$ of the nonzero zero-divisors of $R$, $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=0$ or $x+y\in Z(R)$. we present some properties and examples of this graph and we study his relation with the zero-divisor graph and with a subgraph of total graph of a commutative ring.
Given two torus invariant Weil divisors $D$ and $D'$ on a two-dimensional cyclic quotient singularity $X$, the groups $\mathop{Ext}\nolimits^i_{X}(\mathcal{O}(D),\mathcal{O}(D'))$, $i>0$, are naturally $\mathbb{Z}^2$-graded. We interpret these groups via certain combinatorial objects using methods from toric geometry. In particular, it is enough to give a combinatorial description of the $\mathop{Ext}\nolimits^1$-groups in the polyhedra of global sections of the Weil divisors involved. Higher $\mathop{Ext}\nolimits^i$-groups are then reduced to the case of $\mathop{Ext}\nolimits^1$ via a quive…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and $R^{+}$ be $Z^*(R)$ be the additive group and the set of all non-zero zero-divisors of $R$, respectively. We denote by $\mathbb{CAY}(R)$ the Cayley graph $Cay(R^+,Z^*(R))$. In this paper, we study $\mathbb{CAY}(R)$. Among other results, it is shown that for every zero-dimensional non-local ring $R$, $\mathbb{CAY}(R)$ is a connected graph of diameter 2. Moreover, for a finite ring $R$, we obtain the vertex connectivity and the edge connectivity of $\mathbb{CAY}(R)$. We investigate rings $R$ with perfect $\mathbb{CAY}(R)$ as well. We also study $Reg(\…
We find strong relationships between the zero-divisor graphs of apparently disparate kinds of nilpotent-free semigroups by introducing the notion of an \emph{Armendariz map} between such semigroups, which preserves many graph-theoretic invariants. We use it to give relationships between the zero-divisor graph of a ring, a polynomial ring, and the annihilating-ideal graph. Then we give relationships between the zero-divisor graphs of certain topological spaces (so-called pearled spaces), prime spectra, maximal spectra, tensor-product semigroups, and the semigroup of ideals under addition, obtai…
The canonical ring $S_D = \bigoplus_{d \geq 0} H^0(X, \lfloor dD \rfloor)$ of a divisor D on a curve X is a natural object of study; when D is a Q-divisor, it has connections to projective embeddings of stacky curves and rings of modular forms. We study the generators and relations of S_D for the simplest curve X = P^1. When D contains at most two points, we give a complete description of S_D; for general D, we give bounds on the generators and relations. We also show that the generators (for at most five points) and a Groebner basis of relations between them (for at most four points) depend o…
The first goal of the present paper is to study the class groups of the edge rings of complete multipartite graphs, denoted by $\Bbbk[K_{r_1,\ldots,r_n}]$, where $1 \leq r_1 \leq \cdots \leq r_n$. More concretely, we prove that the class group of $\Bbbk[K_{r_1,\ldots,r_n}]$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^n$ if $n =3$ with $r_1 \geq 2$ or $n \geq 4$, while it turns out that the excluded cases can be deduced into Hibi rings. The second goal is to investigate the special class of divisorial ideals of $\Bbbk[K_{r_1,\ldots,r_n}]$, called conic divisorial ideals. We describe conic divisorial ideals fo…
