We consider almost $\eta$-Ricci solitons in $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. In the gradient case we give an estimation of the Ricci curvature tensor's norm and express the scalar curvature of…

We prove that a shrinking gradient Ricci soliton which agrees to infinite order at spatial infinity with one of the standard cylindrical metrics on $S^k\times \RR^{n-k}$ for $k\geq 2$ along some end must be isometric to the cylinder on that…

In this paper we take a look at conditions that make a Riemann soliton trivial, compacity being one of them. We also show that the behaviour at infinity of the gradient field of a non-compact gradient Riemann soliton might cause the soliton…

In this paper, we generalize Huber's finite point conformal compactification theorem to a higher dimensional manifold, which is conformally compact with $L^\frac{n}{2}$ integrable Ricci curvatures.

We show that in dimensions $n \geq 12$, a non-flat complete gradient shrinking solitons with uniformly positive isotropic curvature (PIC) must be a quotient of either the round sphere $S^n$ or the cylinder $S^{n-1} \times \mathbb{R}$. We…

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…

We prove a lower bound estimate for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Witten-Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds. As an application, we derive a lower bound estimate for the diameter of compact gradient shrinking Ricci solitons.…

We study both function theoretic and spectral properties of the weighted Laplacian $\Delta_f$ on complete smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with its Bakry-\'{E}mery curvature $Ric_f$ bounded from below by a constant. In…

In this short note, using an argument by Munteanu and Wang, we provide an alternative proof of the fact first obtained by Lei Ni that shrinking gradient K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with positive bisectional curvature must be compact.

In this paper, we establish a new volume comparison theorem for a complete manifold with a function $\rho(x)$ as the lower bound of the Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature. As applications, we obtain a new volume rigidity result of the gradient…

We show that a simply-connected closed four-dimensional Ricci flow whose Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded below and whose volume does not approach zero must converge to a $C^{0}$ orbifold at any finite-time singularity, so has an…

We study the modified Ricci solitons as a new class of Einstein type metrics that contains both Ricci solitons and $n$-quasi-Einstein metrics. This class is closely related to the construction of the Ricci solitons that are realised as…

In this paper, we deduce a Bochner-type identity for compact gradient Einstein-type manifolds with boundary. As consequence, we are able to show a rigidity result for Einstein-type manifolds assuming the parallel Ricci curvature condition.…

The aim of this article is to study the k-almost Ricci soliton and k-almost gradient Ricci soliton on contact metric manifold. First, we prove that if a compact K-contact metric is a k-almost gradient Ricci soliton then it is isometric to a…

In this paper we prove classification results for gradient shrinking Ricci solitons under two invariant conditions, namely nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature and weakly PIC1, without any curvature bound. New results on ancient…

This work proves certain general orbifold compactness results for spaces of Riemannian metrics, generalizing earlier results along these lines for Einstein metrics or metrics with bounded Ricci curvature. This is then applied to prove such…

We prove that a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with $\delta W^{\pm}=0$ is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of $S^3\times\mathbb{R}$, $S^2\times\mathbb{R}^2$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$. We also prove that a four-dimensional…

We define a gradient Ricci soliton to be rigid if it is a flat bundle $% N\times_{\Gamma}\mathbb{R}^{k}$ where $N$ is Einstein. It is known that not all gradient solitons are rigid. Here we offer several natural conditions on the curvature…

We consider gradient Ricci solitons conformal to a $n$-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space and we completely describe the most general ansatz that reduces the resulting system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary…

Ricci-like solitons with arbitrary potential are introduced and studied on Sasaki-like almost contact B-metric manifolds. It is proved that the Ricci tensor of such a soliton is the vertical component of both B-metrics multiplied by a…
