We introduce a flow of Riemannian metrics over compact manifolds with formal limit at infinite time a shrinking Ricci soliton. We call this flow the Soliton-Ricci flow. It correspond to a Perelman's modified backward Ricci type flow with…

We discuss some classification results for Ricci solitons, that is, self similar solutions of the Ricci Flow. Some simple proofs of known results will be presented. In detail, we will take the equation point of view, trying to avoid the…

Let $D$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle and $\Gamma$ be a finite cyclical group of order $m$ acting on $\mathbb{C} \times D$ by biholomorphisms, where the action on the first factor is generated by rotation of…

On a manifold of dimension at least six, let $(g,\tau)$ be a pair consisting of a K\"ahler metric g which is locally K\"ahler irreducible, and a nonconstant smooth function $\tau$. Off the zero set of $\tau$, if the metric…

In this paper, we prove that expanding gradient Ricci solitons with (positively) pinched Ricci curvature are trivial ones. Namely, they are either compact or flat.

We consider almost Einstein solitons $(V,\lambda)$ in a Riemannian manifold when $V$ is a gradient, a solenoidal or a concircular vector field. We explicitly express the function $\lambda$ by means of the gradient vector field $V$ and…

We investigate the triviality of compact Ricci solitons under general scalar conditions involving the Weyl tensor. More precisely, we show that a compact Ricci soliton is Einstein if a generic linear combination of divergences of the Weyl…

In 2011 Enders, M\"{u}ller and Topping showed that any blow up sequence of a Type I Ricci flow near a singular point converges to a non-trivial gradient Ricci soliton, leading them to conclude that for such flows all reasonable definitions…

We study stability of non-compact gradient Kaehler-Ricci flow solitons with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature. Our main result is that any compactly supported perturbation and appropriately decaying perturbations of the Kaehler…

We introduce the concept {\it $h$-almost Ricci soliton} which extends naturally the {\it almost Ricci soliton} by Pigola-Rigoli-Rimoldi-Setti and show that a compact nontrivial $h$-almost Ricci soliton of dimension no less than three with…

Quasi-Einstein manifolds are well-studied generalizations of Einstein manifolds. This includes gradient Ricci solitons and has a natural correspondence with the warped product Einstein manifolds. A quasi-Einstein metric is said to be rigid…

Motivated by the long-time behavior of Ricci flows that collapse with bounded curvature, we study expanding Ricci solitons with nilpotent symmetry on vector bundles over a closed manifold. We prove that, under mild assumptions that are…

In this paper, we prove some rigidity results for both shrinking and expanding Ricci solitons. First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some…

We describe the structure of the Ricci tensor on a locally homogeneous Lorentzian gradient Ricci soliton. In the non-steady case, we show the soliton is rigid in dimensions three and four. In the steady case, we give a complete…

Simply-connected four-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons that are invariant under a compact cohomogeneity one group action have been studied extensively. However, the special case where the group is $SU(2)$ (the smallest possible example)…

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…

In this paper we prove classification results for gradient shrinking Ricci solitons under two invariant conditions, namely nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature and weakly PIC1, without any curvature bound. New results on ancient…

Thanks to the ambitious project initiated by Catino, Mastrolia, Monticelli and Rigoli, which aims to provide a unified viewpoint for various geometric solitons, many classes, including Ricci solitons, Yamabe solitons, $k$-Yamabe solitons,…

In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points…

In this paper, we extend the result about the existence of K\"ahler-Ricci soliton on toric manifold (proved by Wang and Zhy) by proving this existence on horospherical varieties using the continuity method.
