Abstract

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and \(\mathbb {A}(R)\) be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilator. The strongly annihilating-ideal graph of R is defined as the graph \(\mathrm {SAG}(R)\) with the vertex set \(\mathbb {A}(R)^*=\mathbb {A}(R){\setminus }\{0\}\) and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if \(I\cap \mathrm {Ann}(J)\ne (0)\) and \(J\cap \mathrm {Ann}(I)\ne (0)\). We show that if R is a reduced ring with finitely many minimal primes, then \(\mathrm {SAG}(R)\) is weakly prefect and an explicit formula for the vertex chromatic number of \(\mathrm {SAG}(R)\) is given. Furthermore, strongly annihilating-ideal graphs with finite clique numbers are studied. Finally, we classify that all rings whose \(\mathrm {SAG}(R)\) are planar.
