We show that, up to biholomorphism, there is at most one complete $T^n$-invariant shrinking gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton on a non-compact toric manifold $M$. We also establish uniqueness without assuming $T^n$-invariance if the Ricci…

We describe four-dimensional Lorentzian algebraic Ricci solitons. In sharp contrast with the Riemannian situation, any connected and simply connected four-dimensional Lie group admits a left-invariant Lorentz metric which is a Ricci…

In previous work, the authors studied the linear stability of algebraic Ricci solitons on simply connected solvable Lie groups (solvsolitons), which are stationary solutions of a certain normalization of Ricci flow. Many examples were shown…

Catino, Mastrolia, Monticelli, and Rigoli have launched an ambitious program to study known geometric solitons from a unified perspective, which they term Einstein-type manifolds. This framework allows one to treat Ricci solitons, Yamabe…

In this paper, we study the complete gradient Ricci solitons $(M^n, g,f)$ with zero radial Weyl curvature, which means that the interior product of $\nabla f$ with the Weyl tensor $W$ is zero, i.e., $i_{\nabla f}W=0$. We classify completely…

In this paper, we study the following conjecture of Hamilton: Any compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with positive curvature operator must be Einstein. We first derive several identities. Then we show that the conjecture is true under…

We introduce a new curvature-pinching condition, which is weaker than the positive sectional curvature or PIC1, and then we prove several rigidity results for the rotationally symmetric solutions of steady Ricci solitons, i.e., the Bryant…

In this paper we study certain types of metrics such as Ricci soliton, $*$-conformal Ricci soliton in 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold. First we have shown that a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold of type $(\alpha,\beta)$ admits a…

In the framework of the study of homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds, we consider here the only class of examples which admit a four-dimensional group of isometries but are neither Lorentzian Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu spaces nor plane…

We prove that three-dimensional electrostatic manifolds with divergence-free Bach tensor are locally conformally flat, provide that the electric field and the gradient of the lapse function are linearly dependent. Consequently, a…

This article deals with the investigation of perfect fluid spacetimes endowed with concircular vector field. It is shown that in a perfect fluid spacetime with concircular vector field, the velocity vector field annihilates the conformal…

We show that a Sasakian metric which also satisfies the gradient Ricci soliton equation is necessarily Einstein.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic geometry of a noncollapsed ancient Ricci flow with nonnegative Ricci curvature via its tangent flow at infinity -- a noncollapsed $\mathbb{F}$-limit metric soliton [Bam23,CMZ23]. We first prove some…

We show that a complete Riemannian manifold has finite topological type (i.e., homeomorphic to the interior of a compact manifold with boundary), provided its Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci tensor has a positive lower bound, and either of the…

Haslhofer and M\"uller proved a compactness Theorem for four-dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons, with the only assumption being that the entropy is uniformly bounded from below. However, the limit in their result could possibly…

In this paper, we classify nontrivial 3-dimensional complete gradient Yamabe solitons. In particular, we show that any nontrivial non-flat 3-dimensional complete steady gradient Yamabe soliton is rotationally symmetric.

In this paper we introduce, in the Riemannian setting, the notion of conformal Ricci soliton, which includes as particular cases Einstein manifolds, conformal Einstein manifolds and (generic and gradient) Ricci solitons. We provide here…

In this paper, we prove that expanding gradient Ricci solitons with (positively) pinched Ricci curvature are trivial ones. Namely, they are either compact or flat.

We prove structure results for homogeneous spaces that support a non-constant solution to two general classes of equations involving the Hessian of a function and an invariant 2-tensor. We also consider trace-free versions of these systems.…

We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…
