Abstract: This dissertation examines simplicial complexes associated with commutative rings with unity. In general, a combinatorial object can be attached to a ring in many di erent ways, and in this dissertation we examine several simplicial complexes attached to rings which give interesting results. Focus of this thesis is determining the homotopy type of geometric realization of these simplicial complexes, when it is possible. For a partially ordered set of nontrivial ideals in a commutative ring with identity, we investigate order complex and determine its homotopy type for the general case. Simplicial complex can also be associated to a ring indirectly, as an independence complex of some graph or hypergraph which is associated to that ring. For the comaximal graph of commutative ring with identity we de ne its independence complex and determine its homotopy type for general commutative rings with identity. This thesis also focuses on the study of zero-divisors, by investigating ideals which are zero-divisors and de ning zero-divisor ideal complex. The homotopy type of geometric realization of this simplicial complex is determined for rings that are nite and for rings that have in nitely many maximal ideals. In this part of the thesis, we use the discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes. The theorems proven in this dissertation are then applied to certain classes of commutative rings, which gives us some interesting combinatorial results.
