We study the asymptotic volume ratio of non-steady gradient Ricci solitons. Moreover, a local estimate of the volume ratio is obtained for expanding solitons which satisfy $\lim_{dist(O,x)\rightarrow\infty} |Sect|\cdot dist(O,x)^2=0$.…

In this paper, we establish a compactness theorem for gradient Ricci solitons with scalar curvature bounds and uniform lower bounds of harmonic coordinates. Our approach is to bootstrap regularity in harmonic coordinates by exploiting the…
We first show that any $4$-dimensional non-Ricci-flat steady gradient Ricci soliton singularity model must satisfy $|Rm|\leq cR$ for some positive constant $c$. Then, we apply the Hamilton-Ivey estimate to prove a quantitative lower bound…
Let $(M^n,g,\nabla f)$, $n\geq 3$, be an expanding gradient Ricci soliton with nonnegative sectional curvature whose asymptotic cone is isometric to $C(\mathbb{S}^{n-1}(c))$ where $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}(c)$ is the standard $(n-1)$-sphere of…
We describe the local structure of self-dual gradient Ricci solitons in neutral signature. If the Ricci soliton is non-isotropic then it is locally conformally flat and locally isometric to a warped product of the form $I\times_\varphi…
We show that a complete gradient Ricci soliton $(M^n,\,g)$ with constant scalar curvature and a non-parallel closed conformal vector field is isometric to either the Euclidean space, or an Euclidean sphere, or negatively Einstein warped…

We develop a method for constructing complete gradient Ricci solitons realized as fiber bundles endowed with warped metrics, and we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for their existence. As an application, we present new…
In this note, we prove that a 3-dimensional steady Ricci soliton is rotationally symmetric if its scalar curvature $R(x)$ satisfies $$\frac{C_0^{-1}}{\rho(x)}\le R(x)\le \frac{C_0}{\rho(x)}$$ for some constant $C_0>0$, where $\rho(x)$…
We first investigate the asymptotics of conical expanding gradient Ricci solitons by proving sharp decay rates to the asymptotic cone both in the generic and the asymptotically Ricci flat case. We then establish a compactness theorem…
This paper studies a complete gradient Ricci soliton with an isoparametric potential function. Our first theorem asserts that, for the steady case, there is a critical level set of codimension greater than one. This is consistent with…
