Popis: Let R be a commutative ring and M a Noetherian R-module. The zero-divisor graph of M, denoted by ?(M), is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are the elements of ZR(M)\AnnR(M) and two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if abM = 0. In this paper, we study diameter and girth of ?(M). We show that the zero-divisor graph of M has a universal vertex in ZR(M)\r(AnnR(M)) if and only if R = ?Z2?R? and M = Z2?M?, where M? is an R?-module. Moreover, we show that if ?(M) is a complete graph, then one of the following statements is true: (i) AssR(M) = {m1,m2}, where m1,m2 are maximal ideals of R. (ii) AssR(M) = {p}, where p 2 ? AnnR(M). (iii) AssR(M) = {p}, where p 3 ? AnnR(M).
