The total zero-divisor graph of commutative rings (1803.05628v1)
Published 15 Mar 2018 in math.RA
Abstract: In this paper we initiate the study of the total zero-divisor graphs over commutative rings with unity. These graphs are constructed by both relations that arise from the zero-divisor graph and from the total graph of a ring. We characterize Artinian rings with the connected total zero-divisor graphs and give their diameters. Moreover, we compute major characteristics of the total zero-divisor graphs of the ring ${\mathbb Z}_m$ of integers modulo $m$ and prove that the total zero-divisor graphs of ${\mathbb Z}_m$ and ${\mathbb Z}_n$ are isomorphic if and only if $m=n$.
