In this note, we complete the classification of the geometry of non-compact two-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. As a consequence, we obtain two corollaries: First, a complete two-dimensional gradient Ricci soliton has bounded…

The aim of this note is to prove that any compact non-trivial almost Ricci soliton $\big(M^n,\,g,\,X,\,\lambda\big)$ with constant scalar curvature is isometric to a Euclidean sphere $\Bbb{S}^{n}$. As a consequence we obtain that every…

In this paper we study 4d gradient steady Ricci solitons, which are weak $\kappa$-solutions, and admit O(3)-symmetry. Under a weak curvature decay condition, we find precise geometric asymptotics of such solitons, which are similar to those…

Applying a well known result for attracting fixed points of biholomorphisms \cite{RR, V}, we observe that one immediately obtains the following result: if $(M^n,g)$ is a complete non-compact gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton which is either…

Let $(M^n,g)$ $(n\ge 4)$ be a complete noncompact $\kappa$-noncollapsed steady Ricci soliton with $\rm{Rm}\geq 0$ and $\rm{Ric}> 0$ away from a compact set $K$ of $M$. We prove that there is no any $(n-1)$-dimensional compact split limit…

We classify four-dimensional shrinking Ricci solitons satisfying $Sec \geq \frac{1}{24} R$, where $Sec$ and $R$ denote the sectional and the scalar curvature, respectively. They are isometric to either $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ (and quotients),…
