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…

We study gradient Ricci solitons with maximal symmetry. First we show that there are no non-trivial homogeneous gradient Ricci solitons. Thus the most symmetry one can expect is an isometric cohomogeneity one group action. Many examples of…

We present a characterization of $2$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with constant Ricci scalar curvature. It is well known that every $2$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds is conformally flat, so we rewrite the Ricci scalar curvature in…

We prove that there exists a gradient expanding Ricci soliton asymptotic to any given cone over the product of a round sphere and a Ricci flat manifold. In particular we obtain asymptotically conical expanding Ricci solitons with positive…

This paper introduce the idea of second Ricci solitons. A second Ricci soliton is nothing but a steady hyperbolic Ricci soliton. We study the geometry of closed and compact second Ricci soliton manifolds. Immersed submanifolds as second…

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…
