Let S be a commutative semigroup with 0 and 1. A proper ideal P of S is weakly prime if for $a,\;b{\in}S$, $0{\neq}ab{\in}P$ implies $a{\in}P$ or $b{\in}P$. We investigate weakly prime ideals and related ideals of S. We also relate weakly prime principal ideals to unique factorization in commutative semigroups.

The concept of prime and weakly prime ideal in semigroups has been introduced by G. Szasz [4]. In this paper, we define the involution in po-${\Gamma}$-semigroups, then we extend some results on prime, semiprime and weakly prime ideals to the involution po-${\Gamma}$-semigroup S. Also, we characterize intra-regular involution po-${\Gamma}$-semigroups. We establish that in the involution po-${\Gamma}$-semigroup S such that the involution preserves the order, an ideal of S is prime if and only if it is both weakly prime and semiprime and if S is commutative, then the prime and weakly prime ideals of S coincide. Finally, we prove that if S is a po-${\Gamma}$-semigroup with order preserving involution, then the ideals of S are prime if and only if S is intra-regular.

Let R be a commutative ring with a non-zero identity, S be a multiplicatively closed subset of R and M be a unital R-module. In this paper, we define a submodule N of M with (N :_R M)∩S = ∅ to be weakly S-prime if there exists s ∈ S such that whenever a ∈ R and m ∈ M with 0 ≠ am ∈ N, then either sa ∈ (N :_R M) or sm ∈ N. Many properties, examples and characterizations of weakly S-prime submodules are introduced, especially in multiplication modules. Moreover, we investigate the behavior of this structure under module homomorphisms, localizations, quotient modules, cartesian product and idealizations. Finally, we define two kinds of submodules of the amalgamation module along an ideal and investigate conditions under which they are weakly S-prime.

Let M be an R-module, where R is a commutative ring with identity 1 and let G(V,E) be a graph. In this paper, we study the graphs associated with modules over commutative rings. We associate three simple graphs $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$ to M called full annihilating, semi-annihilating and star-annihilating graph. When M is finite over R, we investigate metric dimensions in $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$. We show that M over R is finite if and only if the metric dimension of the graph $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$ is finite. We further show that the graphs $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$ are empty if and only if M is a prime-multiplication-like R-module. We investigate the case when M is a free R-module, where R is an integral domain and show that the graphs $ann_f({\Gamma}(M_R))$, $ann_s({\Gamma}(M_R))$ and $ann_t({\Gamma}(M_R))$ are empty if and only if $$M{\sim_=}R$$. Finally, we characterize all the non-simple weakly virtually divisible modules M for which Ann(M) is a prime ideal and Soc(M) = 0.
