Abstract
For all dimensions , let be a dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci soliton with strictly positive isotropic curvature (PIC). Suppose furthermore that is nonnegative and the curvature tensor is WPIC1 at some point . Then must be a quotient of either or . Our result partially extends the classification result for 4-dimensional PIC shrinking Ricci solitons established in [LNW16] to highter dimensions. Combining the pinching estimates deduced in [Chen24] we also extend the result in [CL23] to dimensions . Namely that a complete ancient solution to the Ricci flow of dimension with uniformly PIC must be weakly PIC2.
