Abstract
In this paper, we will prove a gap theorem for four-dimensional gradient shrinking soliton. More precisely, we will show that any complete four-dimensional gradient shrinking soliton with nonnegative and bounded Ricci curvature, satisfying a pinched Weyl curvature, either is flat, or everywhere for some , where are the two least eigenvalues of Ricci curvature. Furthermore, we will show that under a better pinched Weyl tensor assumption. We point out that the lower bound is sharp.
