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…

In this paper, we prove some rigidity results for both shrinking and expanding Ricci solitons. First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some…

Using center manifolds and topological degree theory, we construct a new family of complete, $SU(2)$-invariant and steady gradient Ricci solitons on the four-dimensional non-compact cohomogeneity one manifold with group diagram…
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 show that the only complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with vanishing Weyl tensor are quotients of the standard ones. This gives a new proof of the Hamilton-Ivey-Perel'man classification of 3-dimensional shrinking gradient…
We prove that any gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has at most Euclidean volume growth. This improves a recent result of H.-D. Cao and D. Zhou by removing a condition on the growth of scalar curvature.
In this article, we investigate four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci solitons close to a K\"ahler model. The first theorem could be considered as a rigidity result for the K\"ahler-Ricci soliton structure on $\mathbb{S}^2\times…
We consider dimension reduction for solutions of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow with nonegative bisectional curvature. When the complex dimension $n=2$, we prove an optimal dimension reduction theorem for complete translating K\"ahler-Ricci…
In the first part of the paper we derive integral curvature estimates for complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Our results and the recent work of Lopez-Rio imply rigidity of gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with harmonic Weyl…
In this article we classify expanding homogeneous Ricci solitons up to dimension 5, according to their presentation as homogeneous spaces. We obtain that they are all isometric to solvsolitons, and this in particular implies that the…
In this paper, we study $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to the Ricci flow with nonnegative curvature operator in higher dimensions. We impose one further assumption: one of the asymptotic shrinking gradient Ricci solitons is the…
In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of $\kappa$-noncollapsed and positively curved steady Ricci solitons and prove that any $n$-dimensional $\kappa$-noncollapsed steady K\"ahler-Ricci soliton with non-negative sectional…
We first show that any $4$-dimensional non-Ricci-flat steady gradient Ricci soliton singularity model must satisfy $|Rm|\leq cR$ for some positive constant $c$. Then, we apply the Hamilton-Ivey estimate to prove a quantitative lower bound…
We show that in dimensions $n \geq 12$, a non-flat complete gradient shrinking solitons with uniformly positive isotropic curvature (PIC) must be a quotient of either the round sphere $S^n$ or the cylinder $S^{n-1} \times \mathbb{R}$. We…
In this paper we prove classification results for gradient shrinking Ricci solitons under two invariant conditions, namely nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature and weakly PIC1, without any curvature bound. New results on ancient…
