In this article, we introduce $\omega$-Bach tensor corresponding to one form $\omega$ and correspondingly introduce almost $\omega$-Bach solitons, thereby generalizing the existing notion of Bach tensor and almost Bach solitons. We…

On an $n$-dimensional complete manifold $M$, consider an $h$-almost gradient Ricci soliton, which is a generalization of a gradient Ricci soliton. We prove that if the manifold is Bach-flat and $dh/du>0$, then the manifold $M$ is either…

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…

In this paper, we prove that complete gradient steady K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with harmonic Bochner tensor are necessarily K\"ahler-Ricci flat, i.e., Calabi-Yau, and that complete gradient shrinking (or expanding) K\"ahler-Ricci solitons…

We prove that a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with $\delta W^{\pm}=0$ is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of $S^3\times\mathbb{R}$, $S^2\times\mathbb{R}^2$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$. We also prove that a four-dimensional…
