Abstract
In this article, we study -spherical Ricci metrics, that is, Riemannian metrics whose Gaussian curvature satisfies \begin{equation*} (K - c)\Delta K - |\nabla K|^2 - 4K(K - c)^2 = 0, \end{equation*} for some . We explicitly construct a two-parameter family of such metrics with rotational symmetry and show that infinitely many non-isometric examples can be realized on the same torus. Moreover, we investigate their realization as induced metrics on compact rotational surfaces in , establishing the existence of embedded compact spherical Ricci surfaces by controlling a period function associated with the isometric immersion.
