Abstract

Let RR be a noncommutative ring with identity. The commuting graph of RR, denoted by Γ(R)\Gamma(R), is a graph with vertex set RZ(R)R \setminus Z(R), and two vertices aa, bb are adjacent if aba\neq b and ab=baab=ba. Let T=Tr(R)T=Tr(R) be the ring of all 2×22\times 2 upper triangular matrices over RR and Γ(T)\Gamma(T) be the commuting graph of TT. In this article, we find the number of edges, cliques, clique number, and independence number of Γ(T)\Gamma (T) when RR is a finite field. Moreover, we show that for the case when R=ZnR= \mathbb{Z}_{n} is not a field, Γ(T)\Gamma (T) is connected with diameter 3. Some useful related results are also obtained, some examples are presented and a question is posed.
