Noetherian Rings Whose Annihilating-Ideal Graphs Have finite Genus

Publication date: 18 January 2015

Abstract: Let

R

be a commutative ring and

B b b A (R)

be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilators. The annihilating-ideal graph of

R

is defined as the graph

B b b A G (R)

with vertex set

B b b A (R)^{*} = B b b A s e t m i n u s (0)

such that two distinct vertices

I

and

J

are adjacent if and only if

I J = (0)

. We characterize commutative Noetherian rings

R

whose annihilating-ideal graphs have finite genus

g a m m a (B b b A G (R))

. It is shown that if

R

is a Noetherian ring such that

0 < g a m m a (B b b A G (R)) < i n f t y

, then

R

has only finitely many ideals.
