Abstract
Let be an -dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation . 1. If its scalar curvature is , Ricci curvature is nonnegative and sectional curvature has upper bound , we prove that the Ricci shrinker is isometric to a finite quotient of . 2. If has constant scalar curvature , and each level set of has vanishing Weyl curvature, we prove that it is a finite quotient of . This can be seen a generalization of Cheng-Zhou's four dimensional result \cite{Cheng-Zhou} to high dimension, since the level set of the potential function has vanishing Weyl curvature automatically when .
