Let \(R\) be a commutative ring and \(M\) be a Noetherian \(R\)-module. The intersection graph of annihilator submodules of \(M\), denoted by \(GA(M)\) is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are the classes of elements of \(Z_R(M)\setminus \text{Ann}_R(M)\), for \(a,b \in R\) two distinct classes \([a]\) and \([b]\) are adjacent if and only if \(\text{Ann}_M(a)\cap \text{Ann}_M(b)\neq 0\). In this paper, we study diameter and girth of \(GA(M)\) and characterize all modules that the intersection graph of annihilator submodules are connected. We prove that \(GA(M)\) is complete if and only if \(Z_R(M)\) is an ideal of \(R\). Also, we show that if \(M\) is a finitely generated \(R\)-module with \(r(\text{Ann}_R(M))\neq \text{Ann}_R(M)\) and \(|m-\text{Ass}_R(M)|=1\) and \(GA(M)\) is a star graph, then \(r(\text{Ann}_R(M))\) is not a prime ideal of \(R\) and \(|V(GA(M))|=|\text{Min}\,\text{Ass}_R(M)|+1\).

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. The annihilator graph of $R$, denoted by $AG(R)$, is the (undirected) graph whose vertex set is the set of all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $\ann_R(xy)\neq {\rm ann}_R(x)\cup {\rm ann}_R(y)$. We investigate the interplay between ring-theoretic properties of $R$ and graph-theoretic properties of $AG(R)$. We study the relation between two graphs $\Gamma(R)$ and $AG(R)$, where $R$ is a non-reduced commutative ring. Also, we completely characterize the rings whose annihilator graphs are complete.

Let R be a commutative ring. In this paper, we introduce and study the compressed annihilator graph of R. The compressed annihilator graph of R is the graph AGE(R), whose vertices are equivalence classes of zero-divisors of R and two distinct vertices [x] and [y] are adjacent if and only if ann(x)∪ann(y) ⊂ ann(xy). For a reduced ring R, we show that compressed annihilator graph of R is identical to the compressed zero-divisor graph of R if and only if 0 is a 2-absorbing ideal of R. As a consequence, we show that an Artinian ring R is either local or reduced whenever 0 is a 2-absorbing ideal of R.

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring and [Formula: see text] be an [Formula: see text]-module. The compressed essential graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text] is a simple undirected graph associated to [Formula: see text] whose vertices are classes of torsion elements of [Formula: see text] and two distinct classes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text] is an essential ideal of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study diameter and girth of [Formula: see text] and we characterize all modules for which the compressed essential graph is connected. Moreover, it is proved that [Formula: see text], whenever [Formula: see text] is Noetherian and [Formula: see text] is a finitely generated multiplication module with [Formula: see text].

Let R be a Noetherian ring, M a finitely generated R-module and N an arbitrary R-module. We consider the generalized local cohomology modules, with respect to an arbitrary ideal I of R, and prove that, for all nonnegative integers r, t and all p ? Spec(R) the Bass number ?r(p,HtI (M,N)) is bounded above by ?tj=0?r(p, t?jExtR (M,HjI (N))). A corollary is that Ass (HtI (M,N)? Utj=0 Ass (t?jExtR (M,HjI(N))). In a slightly different direction, we also present some well known results about generalized local cohomology modules.

The aim of the Paper is to Obtain information about the flat covers and minimal flat resolutions of Artinian modules over a Noetherian ring. Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring and let A be an Artinian R-module. We prove that the flat cover of a is of the form , where is the completion of a free -module. Also, we construct a minimal flat resolution for R/xR-module 0: from a given minimal flat resolution of A, when n is a non-unit and non-zero divisor of R such that A = . This result leads to a description of the structure of a minimal flat resolution for , nth local cohomology module of R with respect to the ideal , over a local Cohen-Macaulay ring (R, ) of dimension n.
