We show that a three-dimensional steady gradient Ricci soliton which is asymptotic to the Bryant soliton in a suitable sense must be isometric to the Bryant soliton.

This paper provides a study of algebraic Ricci solitons in the pseudo-Riemannian case. In the Riemannian case, all nontrivial homogeneous algebraic Ricci solitons are expanding algebraic Ricci solitons. In this paper, we obtain a steady…

The three-dimensional Heisenberg group $H_3$ has three left-invariant Lorentz metrics $g_1$, $g_2$ and $g_3$. They are not isometric each other. In this paper, we characterize the left-invariant Lorentzian metric $g_1$ as a Lorentz Ricci…

With a f-left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group $G$, we mean a Riemannian metric which is conformally equivalent to a left-invariant Riemannian metric, with the conformal factor $f$. In this article, we study the geometry of such…

In this note, we complete the classification of the geometry of non-compact two-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. As a consequence, we obtain two corollaries: First, a complete two-dimensional gradient Ricci soliton has bounded…

In this paper, we prove that expanding gradient Ricci solitons with (positively) pinched Ricci curvature are trivial ones. Namely, they are either compact or flat.

We present a characterization of $2$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with constant Ricci scalar curvature. It is well known that every $2$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds is conformally flat, so we rewrite the Ricci scalar curvature in…

We prove that a steady gradient Ricci soliton is either Ricci flat with a constant potential function or a quotient of the product steady soliton $N^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R}$, where $N^{n-1}$ is Ricci flat, or isometric to the Bryant soliton…

For each non-flat, unimodular Ricci soliton solvmanifold $(\mathsf{S}_0,g_0)$, we construct a one-parameter family of complete, expanding, gradient Ricci solitons that admit a cohomogeneity one isometric action by $\mathsf{S}_0$. The orbits…

It is shown that locally conformally flat Lorentzian gradient Ricci solitons are locally isometric to a Robertson-Walker warped product, if the gradient of the potential function is non null, and to a plane wave, if the gradient of the…

Ricci solitons are natural generalizations of Einstein metrics. They are also special solutions to Hamilton's Ricci flow and play important roles in the singularity study of the Ricci flow. In this paper, we survey some of the recent…

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…

k-Curvature homogeneous three-dimensional Walker metrics are described for k=0,1,2. This allows a complete description of locally homogeneous three-dimensional Walker metrics, showing that there exist exactly three isometry classes of such…

We discuss some geometric conditions under which a complete noncompact shrinking gradient Ricci soliton will split at infinity.

In this paper we consider harmonic functions on gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature. A Liouville theorem is proved without using gradient estimate : any bounded harmonic function is constant on gradient…

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…
