Abstract

Let $\mathcal P_{n}$ be the partial transformation semigroup on $X_{n}=\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$. In this paper, we find the left zero-divisors, right zero-divisors and two sided zero-divisors of $\mathcal P_{n}$, and their numbers. For $n \geq 3$, we define an undirected graph $\Gamma(\mathcal P_{n})$ associated with $\mathcal P_{n}$ whose vertices are the two sided zero-divisors of $\mathcal P_{n}$ excluding the zero element $\theta$ of $\mathcal P_{n}$ with distinct two vertices $\alpha$ and $\beta$ joined by an edge in case $\alpha\beta=\theta =\beta\alpha$. First, we prove that $\Gamma(\mathcal P_{n})$ is a connected graph, and find the diameter, girth, domination number and the degrees of the all vertices of $\Gamma(\mathcal P_{n})$. Furthermore, we give lower bounds for clique number and chromatic number of $\Gamma(\mathcal P_{n})$.
