Abstract

Let $R$ be a ring with identity, $X$ be the set of all nonzero, nonunits of $R$ and $G$ be the group of all units of $R$. A ring $R$ is called $unit$-$duo$ $ring$ if $[x]_{\ell} = [x]_{r}$ for all $x \in X$ where $[x]_{\ell} = \{ux \,|\, u \in G\}$ (resp. $[x]_{r} = \{xu \,|\, u \in G\}$) which are equivalence classes on $X$. It is shown that for a semisimple unit-duo ring $R$ (for example, a strongly regular ring), there exist a finite number of equivalence classes on $X$ if and only if $R$ is artinian. By considering the zero divisor graph (denoted $\widetilde{\Gamma} (R)$) determined by equivalence classes of zero divisors of a unit-duo ring $R$, it is shown that for a unit-duo ring $R$ such that $\widetilde{\Gamma} (R)$ is a finite graph, $R$ is local if and only if diam($\widetilde{\Gamma}(R)$) = 2.

Keywords: graph-designable ring, zero divisor graph
