We study $3$-dimensional Ricci solitons which project via a semi-conformal mapping to a surface. We reformulate the equations in terms of parameters of the map; this enables us to give an ansatz for constructing solitons in terms of data on…
We characterize Ricci almost solitons on semi-Riemannian warped products, considering the potential function to depend on the fiber or not. We show that the fiber is necessarily an Einstein manifold. As a consequence of our characterization…
We show that any locally conformally flat ancient solution to the Ricci flow must be rotationally symmetric. As a by-product, we prove that any locally conformally flat Ricci soliton is a gradient soliton in the shrinking and steady cases…
We discuss the geometry of homogeneous Ricci solitons. After showing the nonexistence of compact homogeneous and noncompact steady homogeneous solitons, we concentrate on the study of left invariant Ricci solitons. We show that, in the…
In this paper we investigate the structure of certain solutions of the fully nonlinear Yamabe flow, which we call quotient almost Yamabe solitons because they extend quite naturally those called quotient Yamabe solitons. We then present…
We show that Lorentzian manifolds whose isometry group is of dimension at least $\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)+1$ are expanding, steady and shrinking Ricci solitons and steady gradient Ricci solitons. This provides examples of complete locally…
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 prove the weak stability of expanding gradient Ricci solitons with positive curvature operator and quadratic curvature decay at infinity.
In this paper we study potential function of gradient steady Ricci solitons. We prove that infimum of potential function decays linearly; in particular, potential function of rectifiable gradient steady Ricci solitons decays linearly. As a…
In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points…
In this article we have showed that a gradient $\rho$-Einstein soliton with a vector field of bounded norm and satisfying some other conditions is isometric to the Euclidean sphere. Later, we have proved that a non-trivial complete gradient…
In this paper, we revisit the study of almost Ricci-Bourguignon solitons by clarifying their position in the broader context of Einstein-type metrics. Motivated by known rigidity results for compact almost Ricci solitons, we aim to identify…
We produce new examples of non-K\"ahler complete expanding gradient Ricci solitons on trivial vector bundles over a product of Einstein manifolds with positive scalar curvature.
In previous work, the authors studied the linear stability of algebraic Ricci solitons on simply connected solvable Lie groups (solvsolitons), which are stationary solutions of a certain normalization of Ricci flow. Many examples were shown…
We describe three-dimensional Lorentzian homogeneous Ricci solitons, showing that all types (i.e. shrinking, expanding and steady) exist. Moreover, all non-trivial examples have non-diagonalizable Ricci operator with one only eigenvalue.
We show that if two gradient Ricci solitons are asymptotic along some end of each to the same regular cone, then the soliton metrics must be isometric on some neighborhoods of infinity of these ends. Our theorem imposes no restrictions on…
In this announcement, we exhibit the second variation of Perelman's $\lambda$ and $\nu$ functionals for the Ricci flow, and investigate the linear stability of examples. We also define the "central density" of a shrinking Ricci soliton and…
We show that an expanding gradient Ricci solitons which is asymptotic to a cone at infinity in a certain sense must be rotationally symmetric.
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 prove that a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with fourth order divergence-free Riemannian tensor is rigid. For the $4$-dimensional case, we show that any gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with fourth order divergence-free Riemannian…
