This paper proves several topological results for smooth gradient Ricci shrinkers. We establish upper bounds for the Betti numbers, a vanishing theorem for cohomology, and a dichotomy for the number of ends. We also prove a full Hodge…

We show that every closed L_infty,loc - form on R^n is exact. Differential is understood in the sense of currents. The proof does not use any explicit geometric constructions. De Rham theorem follows.

We obtain new topological restrictions for complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and RCD(0,n) spaces. Our main results are a Betti number rigidity theorem which answers a question open since work of M.-T. Anderson…

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the curvature behavior of four dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons. For such soliton $M$ with bounded scalar curvature $S$, it is shown that the curvature operator $\mathrm{Rm}$ of…

We consider a normalization of the Ricci flow on a closed Riemannian manifold given by the evolution equation $\partial_{t}g(t)=-2(Ric(g(t))-\frac{1}{2\tau}g(t))$ where $\tau$ is a fixed positive number. Assuming that a solution for this…
