In the paper, we study evolution equations of the scalar and Ricci curvatures under the Hamilton's Ricci flow on a closed manifold and on a complete noncompact manifold. In particular, we study conditions when the Ricci flow is trivial and…
A unified treatment is given of some results of H. Donnelly-P. Li and L. Schwartz concerning the behaviour of heat semigroups on open manifolds with given compactifications, on one hand, and the relationship with the behaviour at infinity…

In this paper, we study volume growth, Liouville theorem and the local gradient estimate for $f$-harmonic functions, and volume comparison property of unit balls in complete noncompact gradient Ricci shrinkers. We also study integral…
We make classifications of gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ with harmonic Weyl curvature. As a local classification, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric to one of the following four types: an Einstein manifold, the…
In this paper we show how techniques coming from stochastic analysis, such as stochastic completeness (in the form of the weak maximum principle at infinity), parabolicity and $L^p$-Liouville type results for the weighted Laplacian…
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…
Let $(M^4, g, f)$ be a four-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+\nabla^2f= \frac{1}{2}g$. If its scalar curvature is $1$, Cheng-Zhou \cite{Cheng-Zhou} proved that it is a finite quotient…
We consider complete K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. The main results are: 1. When the manifold has nonnegative bisectional curvature, we show that $\lim\limits_{r\to\infty}\frac{r^{2}}{vol(B(p, r))}\int_{B(p, r)}S$…
In the paper, we study complete almost Ricci solitons using the concepts and methods of geometric dynamics and geometric analysis. In particular, we characterize Einstein manifolds in the class of complete almost Ricci solitons. Then, we…
In this paper, we demonstrate certain curvature estimates on complete non-compact steady and expanding gradient Ricci solitons in higher dimensions. In the expanding case, we prove that if the Ricci curvature decays at least quadratically,…

We study the non Ricci flat gradient steady K\"{a}hler Ricci soliton with non-negative Ricci curvature and weak integrability condition of the scalar curvature $S$, namely $\underline{\lim}_{r\to \infty} r^{-1}\int_{B_r} S=0$, and show that…
In this paper, we study the fundamental group of the complete steady gradient Ricci soliton with nonnegative sectional curvature. We prove that the fundamental group of such a Ricci soliton is either trivial or infinite. As a corollary, we…
In this paper, we construct coordinates at the infinity of an asymptotically flat end of a Ricci-flat manifold $(M_m, g)$ as long as the $L^{m/2}$ norm of the curvature is finite in this end. As applications, we can define a Weyl tensor at…
We derive estimates relating the values of a solution at any two points to the distance between the points, for quasilinear isotropic elliptic equations on compact Riemannian manifolds, depending only on dimension and a lower bound for the…
In this paper, we continue investigating the second variation of Perelman's $\nu$-entropy for compact shrinking Ricci solitons. In particular, we improve some of our previous work in "H.-D. Cao and M. Zhu, Math. Ann. 353 (2012), No. 3,…
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…
We study the growth rate of harmonic functions in two aspects: gradient estimate and frequency. We obtain the sharp gradient estimate of positive harmonic function in geodesic ball of complete surface with nonnegative curvature. On complete…
We review recent results relating linear stability to dynamical stability and the scalar curvature rigidity of Einstein manifolds. We discuss closed and open Einstein manifolds as well as complete noncompact Einstein manifolds which are…
