In this paper, we prove some classification results for four-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. For a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with $div^4Rm^\pm=0$, we show that it is either Einstein or a finite quotient of…

We show that a complete gradient Ricci soliton $(M^n,\,g)$ with constant scalar curvature and a non-parallel closed conformal vector field is isometric to either the Euclidean space, or an Euclidean sphere, or negatively Einstein warped…

We classify and expose all the gradient Ricci solitons on complete surfaces, open or closed, with curvature bounded below, and possibly with a discrete set of cone-like singular points that arise naturally. We give a precise qualitative…

In this survey paper, we analyse and compare the recent curvature estimates for three types of $4$-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons, especially between Ricci shrinkers [58] and expanders [17]. In addition, we provide some new curvature…

In this very short note we prove a lower bound for the scalar curvature of certain steady gradient Ricci solitons.

In this paper, we prove the compactness theorem for gradient Ricci solitons. Let $(M_{\alpha}, g_{\alpha})$ be a sequence of compact gradient Ricci solitons of dimension $n\geq 4$, whose curvatures have uniformly bounded $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$…

In this paper we introduce, in the Riemannian setting, the notion of conformal Ricci soliton, which includes as particular cases Einstein manifolds, conformal Einstein manifolds and (generic and gradient) Ricci solitons. We provide here…

In this paper, we prove some rigidity results for both shrinking and expanding Ricci solitons. First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some…

In this paper, we study the gradient Ricci soliton equation on a complete Riemannian manifold. We show that under a natural decay condition on the Ricci curvature, the Ricci soliton is Ricci-flat and ALE.

We show that a four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with positive isotropic curvature is either a quotient of S^4 or a quotient of S^3 cross R. This gives a clean classification result removing the earlier additional…

In this paper, we study the following conjecture of Hamilton: Any compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with positive curvature operator must be Einstein. We first derive several identities. Then we show that the conjecture is true under…

In this paper, we extend the work of Cao-Chen [9] on Bach-flat gradient Ricci solitons to classify $n$-dimensional ($n\ge 5$) complete $D$-flat gradient steady Ricci solitons. More precisely, we prove that any $n$-dimensional complete…

Suppose $(M, g, f)$ is a 5-dimensional complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton with $R=1$. If it has bounded curvature, we prove that it is a finite quotient of $\mathbb{R}^3\times \mathbb{S}^2$.

In this paper, we prove that expanding gradient Ricci solitons with (positively) pinched Ricci curvature are trivial ones. Namely, they are either compact or flat.

In this study, we provide some classifications for half-conformally flat gradient $f$-almost Ricci solitons, denoted by $(M, g, f)$, in both Lorentzian and neutral signature. First, we prove that if $||\nabla f||$ is a non-zero constant,…
