Gradient shrinking Ricci solitons of half harmonic Weyl curvature

Differential Geometry 2014-10-28 v1

Abstract

We prove that a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with δW±=0\delta W^{\pm}=0 is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of S3×RS^3\times\mathbb{R}, S2×R2S^2\times\mathbb{R}^2 or R4\mathbb{R}^4. We also prove that a four-dimensional cscK gradient Ricci soliton is either K\"ahler-Einstein, or a finite quotient of M×CM\times\mathbb{C}, where MM is a Riemann surface. The main arguments are curvature decompositions, the Weitzenb\"ock formula for half Weyl curvature, and the maximum principle.
