In this paper, we establish a compactness theorem for gradient Ricci solitons with scalar curvature bounds and uniform lower bounds of harmonic coordinates. Our approach is to bootstrap regularity in harmonic coordinates by exploiting the…

We show that sequences of compact gradient Ricci solitons converge to complete orbifold gradient solitons, assuming constraints on volume, the $L^{n/2}$-norm of curvature, and the auxiliary constant $C_1$. The strongest results are in…

We study a characterization of 4-dimensional (not necessarily complete) gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ which have harmonic Weyl curvature, i.e. $\delta W=0$. Roughly speaking, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric…

We consider noncollapsed steady gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature. We show that such solitons always dimension reduce at infinity. This generalizes an earlier result in [CDM22] to higher dimensions. In dimension…

We prove that a shrinking gradient Ricci soliton which is asymptotic to a K\"ahler cone along some end is itself K\"ahler on some neighborhood of infinity of that end. When the shrinker is complete, it is globally K\"ahler.

The Bach tensor is classically defined in dimension 4, and work from J. Bergman \cite{bergman:2004} and others shows that $B = \frac{1}{2}U + \frac{1}{6}V$ where $U$ and $V$ are more basic 2-tensors, which are symmetric, divergence-free,…
