We introduce the use of formal languages in place of zerodivisor graphs used to study theoretic properties of commutative rings. We show that a regular language called a graph language can be constructed from the set of zero-divisors of a commutative ring. We then prove that graph languages are equivalent to their associated graphs. We go on to define several properties of graph languages.

for any reduced commutative $f$-ring with identity and bounded inversion, we show that a condition which is obviously necessary for the socle of the ring to coincide with the socle of its bounded part, is actually also sufficient. the condition is that every minimal ideal of the ring consist entirely of bounded elements. it is not too stringent, and is satisfied, for instance, by rings of conti...

let r be a right gf-closed ring with finite left and right gorenstein global dimension. we prove that if i is an ideal of r such that r/i is a semi-simple ring, then the gorensntein flat dimensnion of r/i as a right r-module and the gorensntein injective dimensnnion of r/i as a left r-module are identical. in particular, we show that for a simple module s over a commutative gorensntein ring r, ...

Let $M$ be an $R$-module and $0 neq fin M^*={rm Hom}(M,R)$. We associate an undirected graph $gf$ to $M$ in which non-zero elements $x$ and $y$ of $M$ are adjacent provided that $xf(y)=0$ or $yf(x)=0$. Weobserve that over a commutative ring $R$, $gf$ is connected anddiam$(gf)leq 3$. Moreover, if $Gamma (M)$ contains a cycle,then $mbox{gr}(gf)leq 4$. Furthermore if $|gf|geq 1$, then$gf$ is finit...

Each graph and choice of a commutative ring gives rise to an associated graphical group. In this article, we introduce investigate polynomials that enumerate conjugacy classes groups over finite fields according their sizes.

Let R be a commutative ring (with 1) and let Z(R) be its set of zero-divisors. The zero-divisor graph Γ(R) has vertex set Z∗(R) = Z(R) \ {0} and for distinct x, y ∈ Z∗(R), the vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0. In this paper, we consider the domination number and signed domination number on zero-divisor graph Γ(R) of commutative ring R such that for every 0 6= x ∈ Z∗(R), x 6= ...

let r be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and m be a unital r-module. then the concept of quasi-secondary submodules of m is introduced and some results concerning this class of submodules is obtained
