Abstract
Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be an $R$-module. Two modules $A$ and $B$ are called orthogonal, written $A\perp B$, if they do not have non-zero isomorphic submodules. We associate a graph $\Gamma_{\bot}(M)$ to $M$ with vertices $\mathcal{M}_{\perp}=\{(0)\neq A\leq M \mid \exists B\neq (0) \;\mbox{such that}\; A\perp B\}$, and for distinct $A,B\in \mathcal{M}_{\perp}$, the vertices $A$ and $B$ are adjacent if and only if $A\perp B$. The main object of this article is to study the interplay of module-theoretic properties of $M$ with graph-theoretic properties of $\Gamma_{\bot}(M)$. An algorithm is given to generate perpendicular graphs of $\mathbb{Z}_n$.
