Zero Square Rings

چکیده
A ring R for which x = 0 for all x e R is called a zerosquare ring. Zero-square rings are easily seen to be locally nilpotent. This leads to two problems: (1) constructing finitely generated zero-square rings with large index of nilpotence, and (2) investigating the structure of finitely generated zerosquare rings with given index of nilpotence. For the first problem we construct a class of zero-square rings, called free zero-square rings, whose index of nilpotence can be arbitrarily large. We show that every zero-square ring whose generators have (additive) orders dividing the orders of the generators of some free zero-square ring is a homomorphic image of the free ring. For the second problem, we assume R Φ 0 and obtain conditions on the additive group R+ of R (and thus also on the order of R). When n = 2, we completely characterize R+. When n > 3 we obtain the smallest possible number of generators of R+, and the smallest number of generators of order 2 in a minimal set of generators. We also determine the possible orders of R.

On zero-divisor graphs of quotient rings and complemented zero-divisor graphs
For an arbitrary ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma (R)$, is an undirected simple graph that its vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ in which any two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if either $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. It is well-known that for any commutative ring $R$, $Gamma (R) cong Gamma (T(R))$ where $T(R)$ is the (total) quotient ring of $R$. In this...
متن کاملOn zero divisor graph of unique product monoid rings over Noetherian reversible ring
Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and $Z^*(R)$ be its set of non-zero zero divisors. The zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma(R)$, is the graph whose vertices are the non-zero zero-divisors of $R$, and two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $rs=0$ or $sr=0$. In this paper, we bring some results about undirected zero-divisor graph of a monoid ring o...
متن کاملCalculating Magnetic Permeability Response of a Conducting Square Ring Structure
In the present work, we investigate the tunability of the magnetic response of a new structure. A lattice of periodically arranged close-packed square conducting rings has been studied for this purpose. Here, instead of enhancing the magnetic activity via resonance, like in split-ring resonators, we concentrate on the analysis of the interactions between these rings. The core idea is to design ...

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$, if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.
متن کاملOn quasi-zero divisor graphs of non-commutative rings
Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity. A ring $R$ is called reversible if $ab=0$, then $ba=0$ for $a,bin R$. The quasi-zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma^*(R)$ is an undirected graph with all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ as vertex set and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if there exists $0neq rin R setminus (mathrm{ann}(x) cup mathrm{ann}(y))$ such tha...
