Assume that R is a commutative ring with non-zero identity which is not an integral domain. An ideal I of R is called an annihilating ideal if there exists a non-zero element $a{\in}R$ such that Ia = 0. S. Visweswaran and H. D. Patel associated a graph with the set of all non-zero annihilating ideals of R, denoted by ${\Omega}(R)$, as the graph with the vertex-set $A(R)^*$, the set of all non-zero annihilating ideals of R, and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if I + J is an annihilating ideal. In this paper, we study the relations between the diameters of ${\Omega}(R)$ and ${\Omega}(R[x])$. Also, we study the relations between the diameters of ${\Omega}(R)$ and ${\Omega}(R[[x]])$, whenever R is a Noetherian ring. In addition, we investigate the relations between the diameters of this graph and the zero-divisor graph. Moreover, we study some combinatorial properties of ${\Omega}(R)$ such as domination number and independence number. Furthermore, we study the complement of this graph.

In this paper, we study the strong metric dimension of zero-divisor graph ${\Gamma}(R)$ associated to a ring R. This is done by transforming the problem into a more well-known problem of finding the vertex cover number ${\alpha}(G)$ of a strong resolving graph $G_{sr}$. We find the strong metric dimension of zero-divisor graphs of the ring ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$ of integers modulo n and the ring of Gaussian integers ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$[i] modulo n. We obtain the bounds for strong metric dimension of zero-divisor graphs and we also discuss the strong metric dimension of the Cartesian product of graphs.

This article concerns a property of local rings and domains. A ring R is called weakly local if for every a ∈ R, a is regular or 1-a is regular, where a regular element means a non-zero-divisor. We study the structure of weakly local rings in relation to several kinds of factor rings and ring extensions that play roles in ring theory. We prove that the characteristic of a weakly local ring is either zero or a power of a prime number. It is also shown that the weakly local property can go up to polynomial (power series) rings and a kind of Abelian matrix rings.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, X the set of all nonzero, nonunits of R and G the group of all units of R. We will investigate some ring theoretic properties of R by considering $\Gamma$(R), the zero-divisor graph of R, under the regular action on X by G as follows: (1) If R is a ring such that X is a union of a finite number of orbits under the regular action on X by G, then there is a vertex of $\Gamma$(R) which is adjacent to every other vertex in $\Gamma$(R) if and only if R is a local ring or $R\;{\simeq}\;\mathbb{Z}_2\;{\times}\;F$ where F is a field; (2) If R is a local ring such that X is a union of n distinct orbits under the regular action of G on X, then all ideals of R consist of {{0}, J, $J^2$, $\ldots$, $J^n$, R} where J is the Jacobson radical of R; (3) If R is a ring such that X is a union of a finite number of orbits under the regular action on X by G, then the number of all ideals is finite and is greater than equal to the number of orbits.

In this note, we shed new light on Krull domains from the point view of Gorenstein homological algebra. By using the so-called w-operation, we show that an integral domain R is Krull if and only if for any nonzero proper w-ideal I, the Gorenstein global dimension of the w-factor ring (R/I)_w is zero. Further, we obtain that an integral domain R is Dedekind if and only if for any nonzero proper ideal I, the Gorenstein global dimension of the factor ring R/I is zero.

We, in this paper, study the commutativity of skew polynomials at zero as a generalization of an ${\alpha}-rigid$ ring, introducing the concept of strongly skew reversibility. A ring R is be said to be strongly ${\alpha}-skew$ reversible if the skew polynomial ring $R[x;{\alpha}]$ is reversible. We examine some characterizations and extensions of strongly ${\alpha}-skew$ reversible rings in relation with several ring theoretic properties which have roles in ring theory.

The reversible property of rings was initially introduced by Habeb and plays a role in noncommutative ring theory. In this note we study the reversible ring property on nilpotent elements, introducing the concept of commutativity of nilpotent elements at zero (simply, a CNZ ring) as a generalization of reversible rings. We first find the CNZ property of 2 by 2 full matrix rings over fields, which provides a basis for studying the structure of CNZ rings. We next observe various kinds of CNZ rings including ordinary ring extensions.

This note focuses on a ring property in which upper and lower nilradicals coincide, as a generalizations of symmetric rings. The concept of symmetric ideal and ring in the noncommutative ring theory was initially introduced by Lambek, as an extension of the usual commutative ideal theory. The investigation of symmetric rings provided many useful results to the study in the noncommutative ring theory. So the results obtained from this study may be applicable to observing the structure of zero divisors in various kinds of algebraic systems containing matrix rings and polynomial rings.

In this article, we generalize a well-known result of Hebisch and Weinert that states that a finite semidomain is either zerosumfree or a ring. Specifically, we show that the class of commutative semirings S such that S has nonzero characteristic and every zero-divisor of S is nilpotent can be partitioned into zerosumfree semirings and rings. In addition, we demonstrate that if S is a finite commutative semiring such that the set of zero-divisors of S forms a subtractive ideal of S, then either every zero-sum of S is nilpotent or S must be a ring. An example is given to establish the existence of semirings in this latter category with both nontrivial zero-sums and zero-divisors that are not nilpotent.

This paper is intended as a discussion of some generalizations of the notion of a reversible ring, which may be obtained by the restriction of the zero commutative property from the whole ring to some of its subsets. By the INCZ property we will mean the commutativity of idempotent elements of a ring with its nilpotent elements at zero, and by ICZ property we will mean the commutativity of idempotent elements of a ring at zero. We will prove that the INCZ property is equivalent to the abelianity even for nonunital rings. Thus the INCZ property implies the ICZ property. Under the assumption on the existence of unit, also the ICZ property implies the INCZ property. As we will see, in the case of nonunital rings, there are a few classes of rings separating the class of INCZ rings from the class of ICZ rings. We will prove that the classes of rings, that will be discussed in this note, are closed under extending to the rings of polynomials and formal power series.
