In this paper, we classify n-dimensional (n>3) complete Bach-flat gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. More precisely, we prove that any 4-dimensional Bach-flat gradient shrinking Ricci soliton is either Einstein, or locally conformally flat hence a finite quotient of the Gaussian shrinking soliton $R^4$ or the round cyl…

We first show that a Kähler cone appears as the tangent cone of a complete expanding gradient Kähler-Ricci soliton with quadratic curvature decay with derivatives if and only if it has a smooth canonical model (on which the soliton lives). This allows us to classify two-dimensional complete expanding gradient Kähler-Ri…

The main purpose of this article is to provide an alternate proof to a result of Perelman on gradient shrinking solitons.

As a consequence, we have s…

Study on 4D Ricci solitons with specific curvature properties.

In this paper, we first apply an integral identity on Ricci solitons to prove that closed locally conformally flat gradient Ricci solitons are of constant sectional curvature. We then generalize this integral identity to complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci solitons, under the conditions that the Ricci curvatur…

We show that gradient shrinking, expanding or steady Ricci solitons have potentials leading to suitable reference probability measures on the manifold. For shrinking solitons, as well as expanding soltions with nonnegative Ricci curvature, these reference measures satisfy sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with low…

The gradient shrinking $ρ$-Einstein soliton is a triple $(M^n,g,f)$ such that $R_{ij}+f_{ij}=(ρR+λ) g_{ij},$ where $(M^n,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold, $λ>0, ρ\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$ and $f$ is the potential function on $M^n$. In this paper, using algebraic curvature estimates and the Yamabe-Sobolev inequality, w…
