A Ricci surface is a Riemannian 2-manifold $(M,g)$ whose Gaussian curvature $K$ satisfies $K\Delta K+g(dK,dK)+4K^3=0$. Every minimal surface isometrically embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is a Ricci surface of non-positive curvature. At the end…

The investigation of Ricci solitons is the focus of this work. We have proved triviality results for compact gradient Ricci soliton under certain restriction. Later, a rigidity result is derived for a compact gradient shrinking Ricci…

We discuss some classification results for Ricci solitons, that is, self similar solutions of the Ricci Flow. Some simple proofs of known results will be presented. In detail, we will take the equation point of view, trying to avoid the…

We show that the only complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with vanishing Weyl tensor are quotients of the standard ones. This gives a new proof of the Hamilton-Ivey-Perel'man classification of 3-dimensional shrinking gradient…

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…

A Ricci soliton is a natural generalization of an Einstein metric. On a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g), it is defined by : $LX g + \r{ho} = {\lambda} g, where X is a smooth vector field on M , LX denotes the Lie derivative in the…

We show for a complete noncompact steady Ricci soliton that there exists a sequence {x_i} of points tending to infinity such that |Rc|(x_i) limits to zero.

English translation of "Solitony Ricciego" (Wiadomo\'sci Matematyczne 48, 2012, no. 1, pp. 1-32). Despite the general-sounding title, the text covers just a few narrow topics: Perelman's proof of the fact that compact Ricci solitons are of…

In this paper, we prove that any compact 2-sided smooth stable minimal hypersurface in gradient Ricci soliton $(M^{n},g,f)$ with scalar curvature $R\geq(n-1)\lambda$ must have vanished second fundamental form and vanished normal Ricci…

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…
