For a shrinking Ricci soliton with Ricci curvature convergent to zero at infinity, it is proved that it must be asymptotically conical.

The main purpose of this article is to provide an alternate proof to a result of Perelman on gradient shrinking solitons. In dimension three we also generalize the result by removing the $\kappa$-non-collapsing assumption. In high dimension…
