Abstract:
The intersection ideal graph Γ(S) of a semigroup S is a simple undirected graph whose vertices are all nontrivial left ideals of S and two distinct left ideals I,J are adjacent if and only if their intersection is nontrivial. In this paper, we investigate the connectedness of Γ(S). We show that if Γ(S) is connected then diam(Γ(S))≤2. Further we classify the semigroups such that the diameter of their intersection graph is two. Other graph invariants, namely perfectness, planarity, girth, dominance number, clique number, independence number etc. are also discussed. Finally, if S is union of n minimal left ideals then we obtain the automorphism group of Γ(S).
