Domination number in the annihilating-submodule graph of modules over commutative rings

Commutative Algebra 2020-01-28 v1

Abstract

Let MM be a module over a commutative ring RR. The annihilating-submodule graph of MM, denoted by AG(M)AG(M), is a simple graph in which a non-zero submodule NN of MM is a vertex if and only if there exists a non-zero proper submodule KK of MM such that NK=(0)NK=(0), where NKNK, the product of NN and KK, is denoted by (N:M)(K:M)M(N:M)(K:M)M and two distinct vertices NN and KK are adjacent if and only if NK=(0)NK=(0). This graph is a submodule version of the annihilating-ideal graph and under some conditions, is isomorphic with an induced subgraph of the Zariski topology-graph G(τT)G(\tau_T) which was introduced in (The Zariski topology-graph of modules over commutative rings, Comm. Algebra., 42 (2014), 3283--3296). In this paper, we study the domination number of AG(M)AG(M) and some connections between the graph-theoretic properties of AG(M)AG(M) and algebraic properties of module MM.
