Abstract
Let be a 3-dimensional complete steady gradient Ricci soliton. Assume that is rectifiable, that is, the potential function can be written as , where is a distance function. Then, we prove that is isometric to (1) a quotient of , 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 -dimensional complete rectifiable expanding gradient Ricci soliton with positive Ricci curvature is rotationally symmetric.
