When does the complement of the annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring admit a cut vertex?

Abstract

The rings considered in this article are commutative with identity which admit at least two nonzero annihilating ideals. Let $R$ be a ring. Let $mathbb{A}(R)$ denote the set of all annihilating ideals of $R$ and let $mathbb{A}(R)^{*} = mathbb{A}(R)backslash {(0)}$. The annihilating-ideal graph of $R$, denoted by $mathbb{AG}(R)$ is an undirected simple graph whose vertex set is $mathbb{A}(R)^{*}$ and distinct vertices $I, J$ are joined by an edge in this graph if and only if $IJ = (0)$. The aim of this article is to classify rings $R$ such that $(mathbb{AG}(R))^{c}$ ( that is, the complement of $mathbb{AG}(R)$) is connected and admits a cut vertex.
