AN EXTENSION OF ANNIHILATING-IDEAL GRAPH OF COMMUTATIVE RINGS

Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The extension of annihilating-ideal graph of R, $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R), is the graph whose vertices are nonzero annihilating ideals of R and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if there exist n, m ∈ ℕ such that IⁿJ^m = (0) with Iⁿ, J^m ≠ (0). First, we differentiate when 𝔸𝔾(R) and $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) coincide. Then, we have characterized the diameter and the girth of $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) when R is a finite direct products of rings. Moreover, we show that $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) contains a cycle, if $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) ≠ 𝔸𝔾(R).
