Comaximal graph of amalgamated algebras along an ideal

    Let R and S be commutative rings with identity, J be an ideal of S, and let f:RS be a ring homomorphism. The amalgamation of R with S along J with respect to f denoted by RfJ was introduced by D’Anna et al. in 2010. In this paper, we investigate some properties of the comaximal graph of R which are transferred to the comaximal graph of RfJ, and also we study some algebraic properties of the ring RfJ by way of graph theory. The comaximal graph of R, Γ(R), was introduced by Sharma and Bhatwadekar in 1995. The vertices of Γ(R) are all elements of R and two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if Ra+Rb=R. Let Γ2(R) be the subgraph of Γ(R) generated by non-unit elements, and let J(R) be the Jacobson radical of R. It is shown that the diameter of the graph Γ2(R)J(R) is equal to the diameter of the graph Γ2(RfJ)J(RfJ), and the girth of the graph Γ2(R)J(R) is equal to the girth of the graph Γ2(RfJ)J(RfJ), provided some special conditions.
