Abstract

Let $R$ be an atomic domain such that $R$ has at least two maximal ideals. Let $Irr(R)$ denote the set of all irreducible elements of $R$ and let $J(R)$ denote the Jacobson radical of $R$.  Let $\mathcal{I}(R) = \{R\pi\mid \pi\in Irr(R)\backslash J(R)\}$. In this paper,  with $R$, we associate an undirected  graph denoted by $\mathbb{CGI}(R)$  whose vertex set is $\mathcal{I}(R)$ and distinct vertices $R\pi_{1}$ and  $R\pi_{2}$ are adjacent if and only if $R\pi_{1} + R\pi_{2} = R$.  The aim of this paper is to study the interplay between some graph properties of $\mathbb{CGI}(R)$ and the algebraic properties of $R$.
