The aim of this note is to prove that any compact non-trivial almost Ricci soliton $\big(M^n,\,g,\,X,\,\lambda\big)$ with constant scalar curvature is isometric to a Euclidean sphere $\Bbb{S}^{n}$. As a consequence we obtain that every…
We construct string backgrounds in dimension 2 which connect the Hamilton cigar to the round sphere. Specifically, we construct a 1-parameter family of rotationally symmetric steady gradient Ricci-Yang-Mills solitons on surfaces, where we…
It is shown that a locally homogeneous proper Ricci almost soliton is either of constant sectional curvature or a product $\mathbb{R}\times N(c)$, where $N(c)$ is a space of constant curvature.
We prove that any $n$--dimensional complete gradient Ricci soliton with pinched Weyl curvature is a finite quotient of $\RR^{n}$, $\RR \times \SS^{n-1}$ or $\SS^{n}$. In particular, we do not need to assume the metric to be locally…

In this paper, we study conformal Ricci solitons and conformal gradient Ricci solitons on generalized ($\kappa,\mu$)-space forms. The conditions for the solitons to be shrinking, steady, and expanding are derived in terms of conformal…
We study a characterization of 4-dimensional (not necessarily complete) gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ which have harmonic Weyl curvature, i.e. $\delta W=0$. Roughly speaking, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric…

Applying a well known result for attracting fixed points of biholomorphisms \cite{RR, V}, we observe that one immediately obtains the following result: if $(M^n,g)$ is a complete non-compact gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton which is either…
In this paper we extend existing results for generalized solitons, called $q$-solitons, to the complete case by considering non-compact solitons. By placing regularity conditions on the vector field $X$ and curvature conditions on $M$, we…
