Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new algebraic graph associated with modules,
called the $r$-small intersection graph of an $A$-module $T$, denoted by
$\Gamma_{r}(T)$. The vertices of $\Gamma_{r}(T)$ are all nonzero submodules
of $T$, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if their intersection
is an $r$-small submodule of $T$.
We investigate how algebraic properties of modules influence graph-theoretic
properties of $\Gamma_{r}(T)$.
In particular, we study connectedness, diameter, girth, planarity and
completeness of $\Gamma_{r}(T)$.
Among other results, we show that for certain classes of modules,
the graph $\Gamma_{r}(T)$ has diameter at most $2$ and we characterize when
$\Gamma_{r}(T)$ is complete or a tree.
