Abstract

For a finite commutative ring R, the square mapping graph of R is a directed graph Γ(R) whose set of vertices is all the elements of R and for which there is a directed edge from a to b if and only if a2=b. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of isolated fixed points, and the cycles with length greater than 1 in Γ(R). We also examine when the induced subgraph on the set of zero-divisors of a local ring with odd characteristic is semiregular. Moreover, we completely determine the finite commutative rings whose square mapping graphs have exactly two, three or four components.
