We are checking the closed categories beginning with the category of sets and ending with the category of categories. The novelty is a generalizing the notion of adjoint functors to the joint pair of functors in the category of directed…

In this paper, we study the strong zero-divisor graph of a p.q.-Baer $*$-ring. We determine the condition on a p.q.-Baer $*$-ring (in terms of the smallest central projection in a lattice of central projections of a $*$-ring), so that its…

For an artinian ring $R$, the directed zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ is connected if and only if there is no proper one-sided identity element in $R$. Sinks and sources are characterized and clarified for finite ring $R$, especially, it is…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, and let I be an ideal of R. The zero-divisor graph of R with respect to I, denoted by $\Gamma_I(R)$, is the graph whose vertices are the set $\{x \in R \setminus I | xy \in I$ for some $y \in R…

Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup with zero and let $Z(S)^\times$ be its set of non-zero divisors with respect to the natural partial order $\le $ on $S$, that is, $a \in Z(S)^\times $ if there exists $b\in S\setminus\{0\}$ with $\omega(a, b)…

We extend the notion of the compressed zero-divisor graph $\varTheta(R)$ to noncommutative rings in a way that still induces a product preserving functor $\varTheta$ from the category of finite unital rings to the category of directed…

A metric graph is a geometric realization of a finite graph by identifying each edge with a real interval. A divisor on a metric graph $\Gamma$ is an element of the free abelian group on $\Gamma$. The rank of a divisor on a metric graph is…

For a commutative ring $R,$ with non-zero zero divisors $Z^{\ast}(R)$. The zero divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ is a simple graph with vertex set $Z^{\ast}(R)$, and two distinct vertices $x,y\in V(\Gamma(R))$ are adjacent if and only if $x\cdot…

In this paper we concern with positive zero divisors in $C^{*}$ algebras. By means of zero divisors, we introduce a hereditary invariant for $C^{*}$ algebras. Using this invariant, we give an example of a $C^{*}$ algebra $A$ and a $C^{*}$…

A $d$-dimensional box is the cartesian product $R_i\times\cdots\times R_d$ where each $R_i$ is a closed interval on the real line. The boxicity of a graph, denoted as $box(G)$, is the minimum integer $d\geq 0$ such that $G$ is the…

As in algebraic geometry, an effective divisor class on a vertex-weighted graph is called special if also its residual class is effective. We study the question, when this is true already on the level of divisors; that is, when there exists…

Let $(A, \oplus, *, 0)$ be an MV-algebra, $(A, \odot, 0)$ be the associated commutative semigroup, and $I$ be an ideal of $A$. Define the ideal-based zero-divisor graph $\Gamma_{I}(A)$ of $A$ with respect to $I$ to be a simple graph with…

A divisor graph $G$ is an ordered pair $(V, E)$ where $V \subset \mathbbm{Z}$ and for all $u \neq v \in V$, $u v \in E$ if and only if $u \mid v$ or $v \mid u$. A graph which is isomorphic to a divisor graph is also called a divisor graph.…
