Abstract

The annihilator graph AG(R)AG(R) of the commutative ring RR is an undirected graph with vertex set as the set of all non-zero zero divisors of RR, and two distinct vertices xx and yy are adjacent if and only if ann(xy)ann(x)ann(y)ann(xy) \neq ann(x) \cup ann(y). In this paper, we study the embedding of the line graph of AG(R)AG(R) into orientable or non-orientable surfaces. We completely characterize all the finite commutative rings such that the line graph of AG(R)AG(R) is of genus or crosscap at most two. We also obtain the inner vertex number of L(AG(R))L(AG(R)). Finally, we classify all the finite rings such that the book thickness of L(AG(R))L(AG(R)) is at most four.
