We show that the only complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with vanishing Weyl tensor are quotients of the standard ones. This gives a new proof of the Hamilton-Ivey-Perel'man classification of 3-dimensional shrinking gradient…

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…
