In this paper we take a look at conditions that make a Riemann soliton trivial, compacity being one of them. We also show that the behaviour at infinity of the gradient field of a non-compact gradient Riemann soliton might cause the soliton…

In this paper we introduce the notion of rigidity for harmonic-Ricci solitons and we provide some characterizations of rigidity, generalizing some known results for Ricci solitons. In the compact case we are able to deal with not…

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…

We show that sequences of compact gradient Ricci solitons converge to complete orbifold gradient solitons, assuming constraints on volume, the $L^{n/2}$-norm of curvature, and the auxiliary constant $C_1$. The strongest results are in…

We study the rigidity of Ricci-flat manifolds with quadratic curvature decay under conditions on the Green function. We show that if the gradient of the Green function is uniformly bounded from below, then the manifold is flat. Furthermore,…

In this note, we obtain a sharp volume estimate for complete gradient Ricci solitons with scalar curvature bounded below by a positive constant. Using Chen-Yokota's argument we obtain a local lower bound estimate of the scalar curvature for…

We prove that any $n$--dimensional complete gradient Ricci soliton with pinched Weyl curvature is a finite quotient of $\RR^{n}$, $\RR \times \SS^{n-1}$ or $\SS^{n}$. In particular, we do not need to assume the metric to be locally…

In this paper, we prove some classification results for four-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. For a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with $div^4Rm^\pm=0$, we show that it is either Einstein or a finite quotient of…

We study the stability of non compact steady and expanding gradient Ricci solitons. We first show that strict linear stability implies dynamical stability. Then we give various sufficient geometric conditions ensuring the strict linear…
