In this paper, we study the complete gradient Ricci solitons $(M^n, g,f)$ with zero radial Weyl curvature, which means that the interior product of $\nabla f$ with the Weyl tensor $W$ is zero, i.e., $i_{\nabla f}W=0$. We classify completely…

We determine the leading order fall-off behaviour of the Weyl tensor in higher dimensional Einstein spacetimes (with and without a cosmological constant) as one approaches infinity along a congruence of null geodesics. The null congruence…
