We consider the space of smooth gradient expanding Ricci soliton structures on $S^1 \times \mathbb{R}^3$ and $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2$ which are invariant under the action of $\text{SO}(3) \times \text{SO}(2)$. In the case of each topology,…
We prove some boundary rigidity results for the hemisphere under a lower bound for Ricci curvature. The main result can be viewed as the Ricci version of a conjecture of Min-Oo.
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…
Assuming local uniform bounds on the metric for a solution of the Chern-Ricci flow, we establish local Calabi and curvature estimates using the maximum principle.
Riemannian metrics of positive Ricci curvature were constructed on certain moment-angle manifolds.
This paper studies a complete gradient Ricci soliton with an isoparametric potential function. Our first theorem asserts that, for the steady case, there is a critical level set of codimension greater than one. This is consistent with…
We show that a complete Riemannian manifold has finite topological type (i.e., homeomorphic to the interior of a compact manifold with boundary), provided its Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci tensor has a positive lower bound, and either of the…
We show that local deformations, near closed subsets, of solutions to open partial differential relations can be extended to global deformations, provided all but the highest derivatives stay constant along the subset. The applicability of…

In this paper, we consider functionals related to mean curvature flow in an ambient space which evolves by an extended Ricci flow from the perspective introduced by Lott when studying a mean curvature flow in a Ricci flow background. One of…
It is shown that the diameter of a compact shrinking Ricci soliton has a universal lower bound. This is proved by extending universal estimates for the first non-zero eigenvalue of Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci…
We classify four-dimensional shrinking Ricci solitons satisfying $Sec \geq \frac{1}{24} R$, where $Sec$ and $R$ denote the sectional and the scalar curvature, respectively. They are isometric to either $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ (and quotients),…
We prove a canonical variation-type result for submersion metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvatures. This can then be used in conjunction with surgery techniques to establish the existence of metrics with positive intermediate…
