Abstract

In this article, we study four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. We prove that a four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a pointwise condition involving either the self-dual or anti-self-dual part of the Weyl tensor is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of either the Gaussian shrinking soliton R4,\Bbb{R}^4, or S3×R\Bbb{S}^{3}\times\Bbb{R}, or S2×R2.\Bbb{S}^{2}\times\Bbb{R}^{2}. In addition, we provide some curvature estimates for four-dimensional complete gradient Ricci solitons assuming that its scalar curvature is suitable bounded by the potential function.
