Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The prime ideal sum graph PIS ( R ) of the ring R is the simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the set of all nonzero proper ideals of R and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if I + J is a prime ideal of R. In this paper, we study some interplay between algebraic properties of rings and graph-theoretic properties of their prime ideal sum graphs. In this connection, we classify non-local commutative Artinian rings R such that PIS ( R ) is of crosscap at most two. We prove that there does not exist a non-local commutative Artinian ring whose prime ideal sum graph is projective planar. Further, we classify non-local commutative Artinian rings of genus one prime ideal sum graphs.
