The paper mainly concerns the structure at infinity for complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. It is shown that for such a soliton with bounded curvature, if the round cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1}/\Gamma$ occurs as a…

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…
Haslhofer and M\"uller proved a compactness Theorem for four-dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons, with the only assumption being that the entropy is uniformly bounded from below. However, the limit in their result could possibly…
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…
The main purpose of this paper is to show that a normalized non-steady gradient Ricci soliton (M,g,f,{\lambda}) of dimension n is trivial if and only if its scalar curvature S satisfies the equality S={\lambda}(f+(n/2)).
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…
In this paper we study the behavior of the scalar curvature at infinity on complete noncompact steady gradient Ricci solitons. In dimension four, we assume that the canonical Ricci flow induced by the soliton is a weak $\kappa$-solution and…

With a f-left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group $G$, we mean a Riemannian metric which is conformally equivalent to a left-invariant Riemannian metric, with the conformal factor $f$. In this article, we study the geometry of such…
We make classifications of gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ with harmonic Weyl curvature. As a local classification, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric to one of the following four types: an Einstein manifold, the…
We first show that a K\"ahler cone appears as the tangent cone of a complete expanding gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton with quadratic curvature decay with derivatives if and only if it has a smooth canonical model (on which the soliton…

Curvature properties of a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are investigated. It is shown that if either the 3-form $T$ is harmonic, $dT=\delta T=0$ or the curvature of the torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ then the…
The only known example of collapsed three-dimensional complete gradient steady Ricci solitons so far is the 3D cigar soliton $N^2\times \mathbb{R}$, the product of Hamilton's cigar soliton $N^2$ and the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with the…
