We show that mean curvature flow translators may exhibit non-removable singularities at infinity, due to jump discontinuities in their asymptotic profiles, and that oscillation can persist so as to yield a continuum of subsequential limit…
In this paper, we study the following conjecture of Hamilton: Any compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with positive curvature operator must be Einstein. We first derive several identities. Then we show that the conjecture is true under…
In this paper, we prove the compactness theorem for gradient Ricci solitons. Let $(M_{\alpha}, g_{\alpha})$ be a sequence of compact gradient Ricci solitons of dimension $n\geq 4$, whose curvatures have uniformly bounded $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$…
In this paper we prove that for a given K\"ahler-Ricci flow with uniformly bounded Ricci curvatures in an arbitrary dimension, for every sequence of times $t_i$ converging to infinity, there exists a subsequence such that $(M,g(t_i + t))\to…
In this paper we derive a precise estimate on the growth of potential functions of complete noncompact shrinking solitons. Based on this, we prove that a complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has at most Euclidean volume…
We study orientability in spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below. Building on the theory developed by Honda, we establish equivalent characterizations of orientability for Ricci limit and RCD spaces in terms of the orientability of their…
In this short note we show that non-negative Ricci curvature is not preserved under Ricci flow for closed manifolds of dimensions four and above, strengthening a previous result of Knopf in \cite{K} for complete non-compact manifolds of…
We prove the weak stability of expanding gradient Ricci solitons with positive curvature operator and quadratic curvature decay at infinity.
Important models for immortal solutions of Ricci flow that collapse with bounded curvature come from locally G-invariant solutions on principal bundles, where G is a nilpotent Lie group. In this paper, we establish convergence and…
We construct an expanding gradient Ricci soliton in dimension three over the topological manifold R x T^2 (the product of a line and a torus) that aproaches asymptotically a constant curvature cusp at one end, and a flat manifold on the…
We prove that a shrinking gradient Ricci soliton which agrees to infinite order at spatial infinity with one of the standard cylindrical metrics on $S^k\times \RR^{n-k}$ for $k\geq 2$ along some end must be isometric to the cylinder on that…
For any 3D steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive curvature, we prove that it must be isometric to the Bryant soliton if it is asymptotic to a ray. Otherwise, it is asymptotic to a sector and hence a flying wing. We show that all 3D…
As of today, there are very few known complete shrinking Ricci solitons in dimension 4, and all examples discovered so far are K\"ahler and/or Einstein. In this note, we prove that any four dimensional J-invariant gradient shrinking Ricci…
By using fixed point argument we give a proof for the existence of singular rotationally symmetric steady and expanding gradient Ricci solitons in higher dimensions with metric $g=\frac{da^2}{h(a^2)}+a^2g_{S^n}$ for some function $h$ where…
We exhibit the first examples of closed 4-manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature that lose this property when evolved via Ricci flow.
In this paper we prove a compactness result for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. It states that given any sequence of such Ricci flows, we can pass to a subsequence that converges to a metric space which is smooth away…
We investigate the topological regularity and stability of noncollapsed Ricci limit spaces $(M_i^n,g_i,p_i)\to (X^n,d)$. We confirm a conjecture proposed by Colding and Naber in dimension $n=4$, showing that the cross-sections of tangent…
In dimension $n=3$, there is a complete theory of weak solutions of Ricci flow - the singular Ricci flows introduced by Kleiner and Lott - which are unique across singularities, as was proved by Bamler and Kleiner. We show that uniqueness…
In this paper we study volume growth of gradient steady Ricci solitons. We show that if the potential function satisfies a uniform condition, then the soliton has at most Euclidean volume growth.
We classify and expose all the gradient Ricci solitons on complete surfaces, open or closed, with curvature bounded below, and possibly with a discrete set of cone-like singular points that arise naturally. We give a precise qualitative…
