Abstract

Let (M,g,f)(M,g,f) be a 3-dimensional complete steady gradient Ricci soliton. Assume that MM is rectifiable, that is, the potential function can be written as f=f(r)f=f(r), where rr is a distance function. Then, we prove that MM is isometric to (1) a quotient of R3\mathbb{R}^3, or (2) the Bryant soliton. In particular, we show that any 3-dimensional complete rectifiable steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive Ricci curvature is isometric to the Bryant soliton. Furthermore, we show that any 33-dimensional complete rectifiable expanding gradient Ricci soliton with positive Ricci curvature is rotationally symmetric.
