In this note, we prove that a 3-dimensional steady Ricci soliton is rotationally symmetric if its scalar curvature $R(x)$ satisfies $$\frac{C_0^{-1}}{\rho(x)}\le R(x)\le \frac{C_0}{\rho(x)}$$ for some constant $C_0>0$, where $\rho(x)$…

For any 3D steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive curvature, we prove that it must be isometric to the Bryant soliton if it is asymptotic to a ray. Otherwise, it is asymptotic to a sector and hence a flying wing. We show that all 3D…

We first show that any $4$-dimensional non-Ricci-flat steady gradient Ricci soliton singularity model must satisfy $|Rm|\leq cR$ for some positive constant $c$. Then, we apply the Hamilton-Ivey estimate to prove a quantitative lower bound…

In this very short note we prove a lower bound for the scalar curvature of certain steady gradient Ricci solitons.

We show that any locally conformally flat ancient solution to the Ricci flow must be rotationally symmetric. As a by-product, we prove that any locally conformally flat Ricci soliton is a gradient soliton in the shrinking and steady cases…

In this paper, we derive certain curvature estimates for 4-dimensional gradient steady Ricci solitons either with positive Ricci curvature or with scalar curvature decay.

The Ricci flow on the 2-sphere with marked points is shown to converge in all three stable, semi-stable, and unstable cases. In the stable case, the flow was known to converge without any reparametrization, and a new proof of this fact is…

We use the theory of isoparametric functions to investigate gradient Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature. We show rigidity of gradient Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature under some conditions on the Ricci tensor, which…

This short note concerns with two inequalities in the geometry of gradient Ricci solitons $(g, f, \lambda )$ on a smooth manifold $M$. These inequalities provide some relationships between the curvature of the Riemannian metric $g$ and 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.
