We show that $S^2\times S^2$ is isolated as a shrinking Ricci soliton in the space of metrics, up to scaling and diffeomorphism. We also prove the same rigidity for $S^2\times N$, where $N$ belongs to a certain class of closed Einstein…

We extend the second part of \cite{Bre20} on the uniqueness of ancient $\kappa$-solutions to higher dimensions. In dimensions $n \geq 4$, an ancient $\kappa$-solution is a nonflat, complete, ancient solution of the Ricci flow that is…

Self-shrinkers model singularities of the mean curvature flow; they are defined as the special solutions that contract homothetically under the flow. Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi showed that cylindrical self-shrinkers are rigid in a strong…
