Ricci Solitons on Lorentzian Manifolds with Large Isometry Groups

Differential Geometry 2014-02-26 v1

Abstract

We show that Lorentzian manifolds whose isometry group is of dimension at least 12n(n1)+1\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)+1 are expanding, steady and shrinking Ricci solitons and steady gradient Ricci solitons. This provides examples of complete locally conformally flat and symmetric Lorentzian Ricci solitons which are not rigid.
