Abstract :
Let A be a commutative ring with unity. The
annihilating graph of A, denoted by GðAÞ, is a graph whose
vertices are all non-trivial ideals of A and two distinct
vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if
AnnðIÞAnnðJÞ ¼ 0. For every commutative ring A, we
study the diameter and the girth of GðAÞ. Also, we prove
that if GðAÞ is a triangle-free graph, then GðAÞ is a
bipartite graph. Among other results, we show that if GðAÞ
is a tree, then GðAÞ is a star or a double star graph.
Moreover, we prove that the annihilating graph of a commutative
ring cannot be a cycle. Let n be a positive integer
number. We classify all integer numbers n for which
GðZnÞ is a complete or a planar graph. Finally, we compute
the domination number of GðZnÞ.
