Abstract

Let RR be a ring with unity. The upper ideal relation graph ΓU(R)\Gamma_U(R) of the ring RR is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the set of all non-unit elements of RR and two distinct vertices x,yx, y are adjacent if and only if there exists a non-unit element zRz \in R such that the ideals (x)(x) and (y)(y) contained in the ideal (z)(z). In this article, we classify all the non-local finite commutative rings whose upper ideal relation graphs are split graphs, threshold graphs and cographs, respectively. In order to study topological properties of ΓU(R)\Gamma_U(R), we determine all the non-local finite commutative rings RR whose upper ideal relation graph has genus at most 22. Further, we precisely characterize all the non-local finite commutative rings for which the crosscap of ΓU(R)\Gamma_U(R) is either 11 or 22.
