Let $(M^n, g, f)$, $n\geq 5$, be a complete gradient expanding Ricci soliton with nonnegative Ricci curvature $Rc\geq 0$. In this paper, we show that if the asymptotic scalar curvature ratio of $(M^n, g, f)$ is finite (i.e., $ \limsup_{r\to…

Though the Weyl tensor is a linear combination of the curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar, it does not have all and only the Lie symmetries of these tensors since it is possible, in principle, that "asymmetries cancel". Here we…

We discuss the geometry of homogeneous Ricci solitons. After showing the nonexistence of compact homogeneous and noncompact steady homogeneous solitons, we concentrate on the study of left invariant Ricci solitons. We show that, in the…
