We establish integral curvature estimates for complete gradient shrinking Sasaki-Ricci solitons. As an application, we show that any such soliton with harmonic Weyl tensor must be a finite quotient of a sphere. This result can be regarded…

We introduce a scalar invariant on manifolds with density which is analogous to the renormalized volume coefficient $v_3$ in conformal geometry. We show that this invariant is variational and that shrinking gradient Ricci solitons are…
