Beck's conjecture for annihilating ideal-graphs of commutative rings
Beck's conjecture for annihilating ideal-graphs of commutative rings
Let be a commutative ring with unity. Define the annihilating ideal-graph to have as vertices the nonzero ideals with nonzero annihilator, meaning that there is a nonzero ideal such that ; distinct vertices and are adjacent precisely when . Write for its chromatic number and for its clique number.
Beck's conjecture. For every commutative ring with unity,
The paper states this conjecture as the ring-theoretic claim motivating its extension to multiplicative lattices. The abstract reports a counterexample for multiplicative lattices, while also stating that the conjecture holds for reduced multiplicative lattices; the status of the original ring formulation is not resolved in the supplied text.
