B List has recently studied a geometric flow whose fixed points correspond to static Ricci flat spacetimes. It is now known that this flow is in fact Ricci flow modulo pullback by a certain diffeomorphism. We use this observation to…
In this article we classify expanding homogeneous Ricci solitons up to dimension 5, according to their presentation as homogeneous spaces. We obtain that they are all isometric to solvsolitons, and this in particular implies that the…
We show that Lorentzian manifolds whose isometry group is of dimension at least $\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)+1$ are expanding, steady and shrinking Ricci solitons and steady gradient Ricci solitons. This provides examples of complete locally…
In this paper we consider connections between Ricci solitons and Einstein metrics on homogeneous spaces. We show that a semi-algebraic Ricci soliton admits an Einstein one-dimensional extension if the soliton derivation can be chosen to be…
In this paper we prove that any asymptotically cylindrical gradient shrinking Ricci soliton is isometric to a cylinder.
Suppose $(M^n, g, f)$ is a complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton. We give several rigidity results under some natural conditions, generalizing the results in \cite{Petersen-Wylie,Guan-Lu-Xu}. Using maximum principle, we prove that…
In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of K\"ahler Ricci shrinkers on toric orbifolds, extending the corresponding results previously established for toric manifolds.
Let $(M, g, f)$ be a $5$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+\nabla^2f= \lambda g$, where $\text{Ric}$ is the Ricci tensor and $\nabla^2f$ is the Hessian of the potential function $f$. We…
We construct an example of Ricci-flat almost-K\"ahler non-K\"ahler structure in four dimensions.
Some observations about the local and global generality of gradient Kahler Ricci solitons are made, including the existence of a canonically associated holomorphic volume form and vector field, the local generality of solutions with a…
We produce new non-K\"ahler, non-Einstein, complete expanding gradient Ricci solitons with conical asymptotics and underlying manifold of the form $\R^2 \times M_2 \times \cdots \times M_r$, where $r \geq 2$ and $M_i$ are arbitrary closed…
It is proved that a compact Kahler manifold whose Ricci tensor has two distinct, constant, non-negative eigenvalues is locally the product of two Kahler-Einstein manifolds. A stronger result is established for the case of Kahler surfaces.…
We investigate Riemannian (non-Kahler) Ricci flow solutions that develop finite-time Type-I singularities and present evidence in favor of a conjecture that parabolic rescalings at the singularities converge to singularity models that are…
In this paper we report on a local classification of four dimensional Ricci solitons which have a $2$-dimensional Abelian Killing algebra $\mathcal{G}_{2}$, whose Killing leaves are non-null and orthogonally intransitive. The classification…
Ricci-like solitons on Sasaki-like almost contact B-metric manifolds are the object of study. Cases, where the potential of the Ricci-like soliton is the Reeb vector field or pointwise collinear to it, are considered. In the former case,…
We carry out a Painlev\'e analysis of the systems of differential equations corresponding to the steady and the expanding, rotationally symmetric, gradient Ricci solitons on $\mathbb{R}^n$. For the steady case, dimensions of the form…
We introduce new families of four-dimensional Ricci solitons of cohomogeneity two with volume collapsing ends. In a local presentation of the metric conformal to a product, we reduce the soliton equation to a degenerate Monge-Amp\`{e}re…
The paper mainly concerns the structure at infinity for complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. It is shown that for such a soliton with bounded curvature, if the round cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1}/\Gamma$ occurs as a…
We study a characterization of 4-dimensional (not necessarily complete) gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ which have harmonic Weyl curvature, i.e. $\delta W=0$. Roughly speaking, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric…
In this paper we consider a perturbation of the Ricci solitons equation proposed by J. P. Bourguignon in \cite{jpb1}. We show that these structures are more rigid then standard Ricci solitons. In particular, we prove that there is only one…
