We show that a four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with positive isotropic curvature is either a quotient of S^4 or a quotient of S^3 cross R. This gives a clean classification result removing the earlier additional…

Let $(M, g, f)$ be a $5$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+\nabla^2f= \lambda g$, where $\text{Ric}$ is the Ricci tensor and $\nabla^2f$ is the Hessian of the potential function $f$. We…
