in this article, we give several generalizations of the concept of annihilating ideal graph over a commutative ring with identity to modules. weobserve that over a commutative ring $r$, $bbb{ag}_*(_rm)$ isconnected and diam$bbb{ag}_*(_rm)leq 3$. moreover, if $bbb{ag}_*(_rm)$ contains a cycle, then $mbox{gr}bbb{ag}_*(_rm)leq 4$. also for an $r$-module $m$ with$bbb{a}_*(m)neq s(m)setminus {0}$, $...

An elementary proof is given for Hutchinson’s duality theorem, which states that if a lattice identity λ holds in all submodule lattices of modules over a ring R with unit element then so does the dual of λ.

Let G be a group given by a presentation. We study the decomposition of the elements of G as quotients of “positive” elements (the elements of G that can be expressed without using the inverses of the generators) in the special case when the presentation satisfies some syntactical condition. This approach works in particular for Artin’s braid groups, and results in a very simple quadratic algor...
