We consider noncollapsed steady gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature. We show that such solitons always dimension reduce at infinity. This generalizes an earlier result in [CDM22] to higher dimensions. In dimension…

In this study, we provide some classifications for half-conformally flat gradient $f$-almost Ricci solitons, denoted by $(M, g, f)$, in both Lorentzian and neutral signature. First, we prove that if $||\nabla f||$ is a non-zero constant,…

We describe the structure of the Ricci tensor on a locally homogeneous Lorentzian gradient Ricci soliton. In the non-steady case, we show the soliton is rigid in dimensions three and four. In the steady case, we give a complete…

We construct a family of non-collapsed, non-K\"ahler, non-Einstein steady Ricci solitons in even dimensions greater or equal to four. These solitons exist on complex line bundles over K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds of positive scalar…

We define a gradient Ricci soliton to be rigid if it is a flat bundle $% N\times_{\Gamma}\mathbb{R}^{k}$ where $N$ is Einstein. It is known that not all gradient solitons are rigid. Here we offer several natural conditions on the curvature…

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…

We show that sequences of compact gradient Ricci solitons converge to complete orbifold gradient solitons, assuming constraints on volume, the $L^{n/2}$-norm of curvature, and the auxiliary constant $C_1$. The strongest results are in…

For any 3D steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive curvature, we prove that it must be isometric to the Bryant soliton if it is asymptotic to a ray. Otherwise, it is asymptotic to a sector and hence a flying wing. We show that all 3D…
