The Prime Graph PG1(R) of a Ring

2016

Abstract

We de ne a simple undirected graph PG1(R) with all the elements of a ring R as vertices, and two distinct vertices x, y are adjacent if and only if either x · y = 0 or y · x = 0 or x + y ∈ U(R), the set of all units of R. We have proved that PG1(Zn) is not Eulerian for any positive integer n. Also we discuss the Planarity and girth of PG1(R) and some cases which gives the degree of all vertices in PG1(R), over a ring Zn, for n ≤ 100.
