For a commutative ring R, we can form the zero-divisor graph Γ(R) or the ideal-divisor graph ΓI(R) with respect to an ideal I of R. We consider the diameters of direct products of zero-divisor and ideal-divisor graphs.

In this note we prove that in the case of finitely generated amenable groups the classical zero divisor conjecture implies the analytic zero divisor conjecture of Linnell.

In 1988, Beck [10] introduced the notion of coloring of a commutative ring R. Let G be a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of R and two vertices x and y are adjacent if xy = 0. The graph G is known as the zero divisor graph of R. He conjectured that, the chromatic number χ(G) of G is same as the clique number ω(G) of G. In 1993, Anderson and Naseer [1] gave an example of a commutativ...

We recall several results of zero divisor graphs of commutative rings. We then examine the preservation of the diameter of the zero divisor graph of polynomial and power series rings.

In this paper, we verify the diameter of zero divisor graphs with respect to direct product. Keywords—Atomic lattice, complement of graph, diameter, direct product of lattices, 0-distributive lattice, girth, product of graphs, prime ideal, zero divisor graph.
