On the annihilator submodules and the annihilator essential graph (Q2337357)

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring and let \(M\) be an \(R\)-module. For \(a\in R, \mathrm{Ann}_M(a) =\{ m\in M:am = 0\}\) is said to be an annihilator submodule of \(M.\) In this paper, authors studied about the property of prime or essential for annihilator submodules of \(M\). Additionally, they have introduced the notion of annihilator essential graph \(AE_R(M)\) of equivalence classes of zero divisors of \(M\), which is constructed from classes of zero divisors, determined by annihilator submodules of \(M\) and distinct vertices \([a]\) and \([b]\) are adjacent whenever \(\mathrm{Ann}_M(a)+\mathrm{Ann}_M(b)\) is an essential submodule of \(M\). Among other things, authors have characterized when \(AE_R(M)\) is a connected graph, a star graph, or a complete graph. Also they have compared the clique number of \(AE_R(M)\) and the cardinal of \(m-\mathrm{Ass}_R(M)\).
