Abstract

Let RR be a commutative ring with unity. The weakly zero-divisor graph WΓ(R)W\Gamma(R) of the ring RR is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are nonzero zero-divisors of RR and two vertices xx, yy are adjacent if and only if there exists rann(x)r\in {\rm ann}(x) and sann(y)s \in {\rm ann}(y) such that rs=0rs =0. The zero-divisor graph of a ring is a spanning subgraph of the weakly zero-divisor graph. It is known that the zero-divisor graph of the ring Zpt\mathbb{Z}_{{p^t}}, where pp is a prime, is the Laplacian integral. In this paper, we obtain the Laplacian spectrum of the weakly zero-divisor graph WΓ(Zn)W\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_{n}) of the ring Zn\mathbb{Z}_{n} and show that WΓ(Zn)W\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_{n}) is Laplacian integral for arbitrary nn.
