On rings whose prime ideal sum graphs are line graphs

Abstract

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. The prime ideal sum graph 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 $I$, $J$ are adjacent if and only if $I+J$ is a prime ideal of $R$. In this paper, we characterize all commutative Artinian rings whose prime ideal sum graphs are line graphs. Finally, we give a description of all commutative Artinian rings whose prime ideal sum graph is the complement of a line graph.
