Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and G be a nontrivial finite group. Also, let Z(R) be the set of zero-divisors of R and, for $a{\in}Z(R)$, let $ann(a)=\{r{\in}R{\mid}ra=0\}$. The annihilator graph of the group ring RG is defined as the graph AG(RG), whose vertex set consists of the set of nonzero zero-divisors, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if $ann(xy){\neq}ann(x){\cup}ann(y)$. In this paper, we study the annihilator graph associated to a group ring RG.

Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The annihilator ideal graph of R, denoted by ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, is a graph whose vertices are all non-trivial ideals of R and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if $I{\cap}Ann(J){\neq}\{0\}$ or $J{\cap}Ann(I){\neq}\{0\}$. In this paper, we study some connections between the graph-theoretic properties of this graph and some algebraic properties of rings. We characterize all rings whose annihilator ideal graphs are totally disconnected. Also, we study diameter, girth, clique number and chromatic number of this graph. Moreover, we study some relations between annihilator ideal graph and zero-divisor graph associated with R. Among other results, it is proved that for a Noetherian ring R if ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$ is triangle free, then R is Gorenstein.

Let P be a commutator poset with Z(P) its set of zero-divisors. The annihilator graph of P, denoted by AG(P), is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $Z(P){\setminus}\{0\}$ as vertices, and distinct vertices x, y are adjacent if and only if $ann(xy)\;{\neq}\;(x)\;{\cup}\;ann(y)$. In this paper, we study basic properties of AG(P).

Let R be an associative ring with nonzero identity. The annihilator ideal graph of R, denoted by ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, is a graph whose vertices are all nonzero proper left ideals and all nonzero proper right ideals of R, and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if $I{\cap}({\ell}_R(J){\cup}r_R(J)){\neq}0$ or $J{\cap}({\ell}_R(I){\cup}r_R(I)){\neq}0$, where ${\ell}_R(K)=\{b{\in}R|bK=0\}$ is the left annihilator of a nonempty subset $K{\subseteq}R$, and $r_R(K)=\{b{\in}R|Kb=0\}$ is the right annihilator of a nonempty subset $K{\subseteq}R$. In this paper, we assume that R is a semicommutative ring. We study the structure of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$. Also, we investigate the relations between the ring-theoretic properties of R and graph-theoretic properties of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$. Moreover, some combinatorial properties of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, such as domination number and clique number, are studied.

In this paper, we study a directed simple graph ${\Gamma}_S(N)$ for a near-ring N, where the set $V^*(N)$ of vertices is the set of all left N-subsets of N with nonzero left annihilators and for any two distinct vertices $I,J{\in}V^*(N)$, I is adjacent to J if and only if IJ = 0. Here, we deal with the diameter, girth and coloring of the graph ${\Gamma}_S(N)$. Moreover, we prove a sufficient condition for occurrence of a regular element of the near-ring N in the left annihilator of some vertex in the strong zero-divisor graph ${\Gamma}_S(N)$.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let I be a proper ideal of R. In this paper, we study the ideal based extended zero-divisor graph 𝚪'_I (R) and prove that 𝚪'_I (R) is connected with diameter at most two and if 𝚪'_I (R) contains a cycle, then girth is at most four girth at most four. Furthermore, we study affinity the connection between the ideal based extended zero-divisor graph 𝚪'_I (R) and the ideal-based zero-divisor graph 𝚪_I (R) associated with the ideal I of R. Among the other things, for a radical ideal of a ring R, we show that the ideal-based extended zero-divisor graph 𝚪'_I (R) is identical to the ideal-based zero-divisor graph 𝚪_I (R) if and only if R has exactly two minimal prime-ideals which contain I.
