Abstract

Let R be a commutative ring. The prime graph of the ring R is defined as a graph whose vertex set consists of all elements of R and any two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xRy=0 or yRx=0. This graph is denoted by PG(R). In this paper we investigate some relations between the chromatic number of prime graph of finite product of commutative rings and the chromatic number of prime graph of these rings. We also obtain some results on the chromatic number of prime graph of the ring Z_m×Z_n.
