This article studies the zero divisor graphs of the ring of Lipschitz integers modulo $n$. In particular we focus on the number of vertices, the diameter and the girth. We also give some results regarding the domination number of these graphs.
In a recent paper C. Miguel proved that the diameter of the commuting graph of the matrix ring $\mathrm{M}_n(\mathbb{R})$ is equal to $4$ either if $n=3$ or $n>4$. But the case $n=4$ remained open, since the diameter could be $4$ or $5$. In this work we close the problem showing that also in this case the diameter is equal to $4$.
In this paper we study the sum of powers in the Gaussian integers $\mathbf{G}_k(n):=\sum_{a,b \in [1,n]} (a+b i)^k$. We give an explicit formula for $\mathbf{G}_k(n) \pmod n $ in terms of the prime numbers $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ with $p \mid \mid n$ and $p-1 \mid k$, similar to the well known one due to von Staudt for $\sum_{i=1}^n i^k \pmod n$. We apply this formula to study the set of integers $n$ which divide $\mathbf{G}_n(n)$ and compute its asymptotic density with six exact digits: $0.971000\ldots$.
