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…
We construct a uniform local bound of curvature operator from local bounds of Ricci curvature and injectivity radius among all $n$-dimensional Ricci flows. Thus new compactness theorems for the Ricci flow and Ricci solitons are derived. In…
We develop heat kernel and Green's function estimates for manifolds with positive bottom spectrum. The results are then used to establish existence and sharp estimates of the solution to the Poisson equation on such manifolds with Ricci…
A closed four dimensional manifold cannot possess a non-flat Ricci soliton metric with arbitrarily small $L^2$-norm of the curvature. In this paper, we localize this fact in the case of shrinking Ricci solitons by proving an…
In this paper, we give a description for steady Ricci solitons with a linear decay of sectional curvature. In particular, we classify all 3-dimensional steady Ricci solitons and 4-dimensional $\kappa$-noncollpased steady Ricci solitons with…
We consider almost $\eta$-Ricci solitons in $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. In the gradient case we give an estimation of the Ricci curvature tensor's norm and express the scalar curvature of…
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…
In this short note, using an argument by Munteanu and Wang, we provide an alternative proof of the fact first obtained by Lei Ni that shrinking gradient K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with positive bisectional curvature must be compact.
In this note, we study the classification of four-dimensional complete gradient steady and expanding Ricci solitons. Specifically, under the asymptotically cylindrical (respectively, asymptotically conical) assumption, we classify gradient…
We show that, up to biholomorphism, a given noncompact complex manifold only admits one shrinking gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton with Ricci curvature tending to zero at infinity. Our result does not require fixing the asymptotic data of…
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 introduce certain spherically symmetric singular Ricci solitons and study their stability under the Ricci flow from a dynamical PDE point of view. The solitons in question exist for all dimensions $n+1\ge 3$, and all have a point…
In this paper, we survey the volume growth estimates for shrinking, steady, and expanding gradient Ricci solitons. Together with the known results, we also prove some new volume growth estimates for expanding gradient 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…
We study the modified Ricci solitons as a new class of Einstein type metrics that contains both Ricci solitons and $n$-quasi-Einstein metrics. This class is closely related to the construction of the Ricci solitons that are realised as…
