New expanding Ricci solitons starting in dimension four

Abstract

We prove that there exists a gradient expanding Ricci soliton asymptotic to any given cone over the product of a round sphere and a Ricci flat manifold. In particular we obtain asymptotically conical expanding Ricci solitons with positive scalar curvature on R3×S1.\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^1. More generally we construct continuous families of gradient expanding Ricci solitons on trivial vector bundles over products of Einstein manifolds with arbitrary Einstein constants.
