On the planarity and perfectness of annihilator ideal graphs

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. The annihilator ideal graph of $R$, denoted by $\Gamma _{\mathrm{Ann}} (R) $, is a graph whose vertices are all non-trivial ideals of $R$ and two distinct vertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only if$ I \cap \mathrm{Ann} _{R} (J) \neq \lbrace 0\rbrace $ or $J \cap \mathrm{Ann} _{R} (I) \neq \lbrace 0\rbrace $.In this paper, all rings with planar annihilator ideal graphs are classified.Furthermore, we show that all annihilator ideal graphs are perfect. Among other results, it is proved that if $\Gamma _{\mathrm{Ann}} (R) $ is a tree, then $\Gamma _{\mathrm{Ann}} (R) $ is star.
