In this study, we investigate the concept of zero-divisor graphs of multiplication modules over commutative rings as a natural generalization of zero-divisor graphs of commutative rings. In particular, we study the zero-divisor graphs of the module $\mathbb{Z}_n$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers, where $n$ is a positive integer greater than 1.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let M be an R-module. The main purpose of this paper is to calculate the chromatic number of the zero-divisor graphs over modules.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity 1≠ 0. In this paper, we continue the study started in [10] to further investigate when the extended zero-divisor graph of R, denoted as $\bar{\Gamma}$(R), is complemented. We also study when $\bar{\Gamma}$(R) is uniquely complemented. We give a complete characterization of when $\bar{\Gamma}$(R) of a finite ring R is complemented. Various examples are given using the direct product of rings and idealizations of modules.

Let M be an R-module, where R is a commutative ring with identity 1 and let G(V,E) be a graph. In this paper, we study the graphs associated with modules over commutative rings. We associate three simple graphs $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$ to M called full annihilating, semi-annihilating and star-annihilating graph. When M is finite over R, we investigate metric dimensions in $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$. We show that M over R is finite if and only if the metric dimension of the graph $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$ is finite. We further show that the graphs $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$ are empty if and only if M is a prime-multiplication-like R-module. We investigate the case when M is a free R-module, where R is an integral domain and show that the graphs $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$ are empty if and only if $$M{\sim_=}R$$. Finally, we characterize all the non-simple weakly virtually divisible modules M for which Ann(M) is a prime ideal and Soc(M) = 0.
