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…

In this paper we characterize non-collapsed limits of Ricci flows. We show that such limits are smooth away from a set of codimension $\geq 4$ in the parabolic sense and that the tangent flows at every point are given by gradient shrinking…

In this paper, we study the rigidity of eigenvalues of shring Ricci solitons. It is known that the drifted Laplacian on shrinking Ricci solitons has discrete spectrum, its eigenvalues have a lower bound and a rigidity result holds. Firstly,…

Our main aim in this paper is to investigate the rigidity of complete noncompact gradient steady Ricci solitons with harmonic Weyl tensor. More precisely, we prove that an $n$-dimensional ($n\geq 5$) complete noncompact gradient steady…

In this short note we observe that a recent result of C.-W. Chen meshes well with earlier work of H.-D. Cao and D.-T. Zhou, O. Munteanu, J. Carrillo and L. Ni, and S.-J. Zhang to give a necessary and sufficient condition for complete…

We prove that an $n$-dimensional, $n\geq4$, compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a $L^{\frac n2}$-pinching condition is isometric to a quotient of the round $\mathbb{S}^n$, which improves the rigidity theorem given by G.…

We show that if two gradient Ricci solitons are asymptotic along some end of each to the same regular cone, then the soliton metrics must be isometric on some neighborhoods of infinity of these ends. Our theorem imposes no restrictions on…

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…

On a complete non-compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton, we prove the analyticity in time for smooth solutions of the heat equation with quadratic exponential growth in the space variable. This growth condition is sharp. As an…

Assuming a lower bound on the Ricci curvature of a complete Riemannian manifold, for $p< 1/2$ we show the existence of bounds on the local $L^p$ norm of the Ricci curvature that depend only on the dimension and which improve with volume…

We consider almost $\eta$-Ricci solitons in $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. In the gradient case we give an estimation of the Ricci curvature tensor's norm and express the scalar curvature of…

This is a sequel to our paper [24], in which we investigated the geometry of 4-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with half positive (nonnegative) isotropic curvature. In this paper, we mainly focus on 4-dimensional gradient…

We develop a structure theory for non-collapsed Ricci shrinkers without any curvature condition. As applications, we obtain some curvature estimates of the Ricci shrinkers depending only on the non-collapsing constant.

In this paper we investigate the structure of certain solutions of the fully nonlinear Yamabe flow, which we call quotient almost Yamabe solitons because they extend quite naturally those called quotient Yamabe solitons. We then present…

It is shown that the diameter of a compact shrinking Ricci soliton has a universal lower bound. This is proved by extending universal estimates for the first non-zero eigenvalue of Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci…

We prove that any shrinking Kahler Ricci soliton has only one end, and that any expanding Kahler Ricci soliton with proper potential has only one end.

We will show that if a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has an approximate symmetry on one scale, this symmetry propagates to larger scales. This is an example of the shrinker principle which roughly states that information radiates…

In this paper, we study gradient Ricci expanding solitons $(X,g)$ satisfying $$ Rc=cg+D^2f, $$ where $Rc$ is the Ricci curvature, $c<0$ is a constant, and $D^2f$ is the Hessian of the potential function $f$ on $X$. We show that for a…

In this paper we prove that any asymptotically cylindrical gradient shrinking Ricci soliton is isometric to a cylinder.

In this article, stimulated by Fernandez-Lopez and Garcia-Rio, we shall give an upper diameter bound for compact Ricci solitons in terms of the range of the scalar curvature. As an application, we shall provide some sufficient conditions…
