Differential Geometry 2024-09-23 v1

Abstract

[Dedicated to Richard S. Hamilton on forty years of Ricci flow] Gradient Ricci solitons have garnered significant attention both as self-similar solutions and singularity models of the Ricci flow. This survey article starts with a list of examples; it also provides some geometric aspects of gradient Ricci solitons, including various asymptotic behaviors; finally, it discusses some recent results on classification and rigidity. In particular, this survey focuses on dimension four.
