On the structure of comaximal graphs of commutative rings with identity

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the center, radius and girth of comaximal graphs of commutative rings. We also provide some counterexamples to the results concerning the relation between isomorphisms of comaximal graphs and the rings in question. In addition, we investigate the relation between the comaximal graph of a ring and its subrings of a certain type. © Copyright Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Inc. 2010.
