The concept of the annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring was introduced by Behboodi et. al in 2011. In this paper, we extend this concept to the hypergraph for which we define an algebraic structure called k-annihilating-ideal of a commutative ring which is the vertex set of the hypergraph of such commutative ring. Let R be a commutative ring and k an integer greater than 2 and let A(R, k) be the set of all k-annihilating-ideals of R. The k-annihilating-ideal hypergraph of R, denoted by AG k (R), is a hypergraph with vertex set A(R, k), and for distinct elements I 1 , I 2 ,. .. , I k in A(R, k), the set {I 1 , I 2 ,. .. , I k } is an edge of AG k (R) if and only if k ∏ i=1 I i = (0) and the product of any (k −1) elements of the {I 1 , I 2 ,. .. , I k } is nonzero. In this paper, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the completeness of 3-annihilating-ideal hypergraph of a commutative ring. Further, we study the planarity of AG 3 (R) and characterize all commutative ring R whose 3-annihilating-ideal hypergraph AG 3 (R) is planar.
