Characterization of rings with planar, toroidal or projective planar prime ideal sum graphs

Abstract

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. The prime ideal sum graph $\text{PIS}(R)$ of the ring $R$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the set of all nonzero proper ideals of $R$ and two distinct vertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only if $I+J$ is a prime ideal of $R$. In this paper, we study some interplay between algebraic properties of rings and graph-theoretic properties of their prime ideal sum graphs. In this connection, we classify non-local commutative Artinian rings $R$ such that $\text{PIS}(R)$ is of crosscap at most two. We prove that there does not exist a non-local commutative Artinian ring whose prime ideal sum graph is projective planar. Further, we classify non-local commutative Artinian rings of genus one prime ideal sum graphs.
