We study a characterization of 4-dimensional (not necessarily complete) gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ which have harmonic Weyl curvature, i.e. $\delta W=0$. Roughly speaking, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric…

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)…

Let $(M^n, g, f)$ be an $n$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+\nabla^2f= \frac{1}{2}g$. 1. If its scalar curvature is $\frac{k}{2}$, Ricci curvature is nonnegative and sectional…

We describe three-dimensional Lorentzian homogeneous Ricci solitons, showing that all types (i.e. shrinking, expanding and steady) exist. Moreover, all non-trivial examples have non-diagonalizable Ricci operator with one only eigenvalue.

We study gradient Ricci solitons with maximal symmetry. First we show that there are no non-trivial homogeneous gradient Ricci solitons. Thus the most symmetry one can expect is an isometric cohomogeneity one group action. Many examples of…
