Zero-divisor graphs of twisted partial skew generalized power series rings

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the ring structure of the twisted partial skew generalized power series ring RG,≤;Θ and the corresponding structure of its zero-divisor graph Γ̅RG,≤;Θ.Design/methodology/approachThe authors first introduce the history and motivation of this paper. Secondly, the authors give a brief exposition of twisted partial skew generalized power series ring, in addition to presenting some properties of such structure, for instance, a-rigid ring, a-compatible ring and (G,a)-McCoy ring. Finally, the study’s main results are stated and proved.FindingsThe authors establish the relation between the diameter and girth of the zero-divisor graph of twisted partial skew generalized power series ring RG,≤;Θ and the zero-divisor graph of the ground ring R. The authors also provide counterexamples to demonstrate that some conditions of the results are not redundant. As well the authors indicate that some conditions of recent results can be omitted.Originality/valueThe results of the twisted partial skew generalized power series ring embrace a wide range of results of classical ring theoretic extensions, including Laurent (skew Laurent) polynomial ring, Laurent (skew Laurent) power series ring and group (skew group) ring and of course their partial skew versions.
