Abstract

Given an asymptotically conical, shrinking, gradient Ricci soliton, we show that there exists a Ricci flow solution on a closed manifold that forms a finite-time singularity modeled on the given soliton. No symmetry or Kahler assumptions on the soliton are required. The proof provides a precise asymptotic description of the singularity formation.
