Sub-semigroups determined by the zero-divisor graph

In this paper we study sub-semigroups of a zero-divisor semigroup S determined by properties of the zero-divisor graph Γ(S). We use these sub-semigroups to study the correspondence between zero-divisor semigroups and zero-divisor graphs. We study properties of sub-semigroups of Boolean semigroups via the zero-divisor graph. As an application, we provide a characterization of the graphs which are zero-divisor graphs of Boolean rings.
