Remarks on minimal hypersurfaces in gradient shrinking Ricci solitons

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that any compact 2-sided smooth stable minimal hypersurface in gradient Ricci soliton (Mn,g,f)(M^{n},g,f) with scalar curvature R(n1)λR\geq(n-1)\lambda must have vanished second fundamental form and vanished normal Ricci curvature. For shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with scalar curvature R(n1)λR\geq(n-1)\lambda, the existence of an area-minimizing hypersurface would imply MM is splitting.
