SOME RESULTS ON THE COMAXIMAL IDEAL GRAPH OF A COMMUTATIVE RING

Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The comaximal ideal graph of R, denoted by C(R), is a graph whose vertices are the proper ideals of R which are not contained in the Jacobson radical of R, and two vertices I1 and I2 are adjacent if and only if I1 + I2 = R. In this paper, we classify all comaximal ideal graphs with nite independence number and present a formula to calculate this number. Also, the domination number of C(R) for a ring R is determined. In the last section, we introduce all planar and toroidal comaximal ideal graphs. Moreover, the commutative rings with isomorphic comaximal ideal graphs are characterized. In particular we show that every nite comaximal ideal graph is isomorphic to some C(Zn).
