Abstract
In this article, graph blow-up is used to study the implements of the co-maximal graph and the co-maximal ideal graph 𝒞(R) of a commutative ring R. We show that for a ring R with finitely many maximal ideals, the graph 𝒞(R) is a blow-up of a Boolean graph, and we give more detailed structure of the graphs
and 𝒞(R) as blow-ups of Boolean graphs. We determine for what rings R, 𝒞(R) or
is a finite graph, respectively. In the end, we get some new results for rings by taking advantage of the graph
.
