Abstract

The zero-divisor graph of an associative ring R is a graph whose vertices are all nonzero (one-sided and two-sided) zero divisors of R, two distinct vertices x, y are connected by an edge if and only if xy = 0 or yx = 0.

In this paper, all finite nonnilpotent rings with planar zero-divisor graphs are completely described. In the previous paper by Kuzmina and Maltsev, the finite nilpotent rings with planar zero-divisor graphs were studied. Thus, this paper completes the description of finite rings with planar zero-divisor graphs.
