The sum-annihilating essential ideal graph of a commutative ring

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$is called an annihilating ideal if there exists $rin Rsetminus {0}$ such that $Ir=(0)$ and an ideal $I$ of$R$ is called an essential ideal if $I$ has non-zero intersectionwith every other non-zero ideal of $R$. Thesum-annihilating essential ideal graph of $R$, denoted by $mathcal{AE}_R$, isa graph whose vertex set is the set of all non-zero annihilating ideals and twovertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent whenever ${rm Ann}(I)+{rmAnn}(J)$ is an essential ideal. In this paper we initiate thestudy of the sum-annihilating essential ideal graph. We first characterize all rings whose sum-annihilating essential ideal graph are stars or complete graphs and then establish sharp bounds on domination number of this graph. Furthermore determine all isomorphism classes of Artinian rings whose sum-annihilating essential ideal graph has genus zero or one.
