Paper reviews and proves volume growth estimates for different types of gradient Ricci solitons.

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 curvature bound to a twisted Laplacian on compact shrinking Ricci solitons.

In this paper, we discuss the self-shrinking systems in higher codimensional spaces. We mainly obtain several Bernstein type results and a sharp growth estimate.

New classification for higher-dimensional shrinking Ricci solitons with positive isotropic curvature.

In this paper, we firstly establish a new volume growth estimate for spacelike entire graphs in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}_n$. Then by using this volume growth estimate and the Co-Area formula, we prove various rigidity results for spacelike entire self-shrinking graphs.

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 growth. The latter result can be viewed as an analog of the well-known theorem of Bi…

We show Bernstein type results for the entire self-shrinking solutions to Lagrangian mean curvature flow in $(\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}^n, g_τ)$. The proofs rely on a priori estimates and barriers construction.

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…

We prove a lower bound estimate for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Witten-Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds. As an application, we derive a lower bound estimate for the diameter of compact gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Our results improve some previous estimates which were obtained by the first autho…

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…

We prove a sharp pinching estimate for immersed mean convex solutions of mean curvature flow which unifies and improves all previously known pinching estimates, including the umbilic estimate of Huisken, the convexity estimates of Huisken--Sinestrari and the cylindrical estimate of Huisken--Sinestrari. Namely, we show …

We prove that a $n$-dimensional, $4 \leq n \leq 6$, compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a $L^{n/2}$-pinching condition is isometric to a quotient of the round $\mathbb{S}^{n}$. The proof relies mainly on sharp algebraic curvature estimates, the Yamabe-Sobolev inequality and an improved rigidity result f…

In the first part of the paper we derive integral curvature estimates for complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Our results and the recent work of Lopez-Rio imply rigidity of gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with harmonic Weyl tensor. In the second part of the paper we address the issue of existence of harmonic …

Kähler-Ricci flows' tangent cones are algebraic varieties.

We study geometric properties of the Lagrangian self-shrinking tori in $\mathbb R^4$. When the area is bounded above uniformly, we prove that the entropy for the Lagrangian self-shrinking tori can only take finitely many values; this is done by deriving a Łojasiewicz-Simon type gradient inequality for the branched conf…

We use analytical and numerical methods to investigate the equations for cohomogeneity one shrinking gradient Ricci solitons. We show the existence of a winding number for this system around the subvariety of phase space corresponding to Einstein solutions and obtain some estimates for it. We prove a non-existence resu…

Symmetries in shrinking Ricci solitons spread outward.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the curvature behavior of four dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons. For such soliton $M$ with bounded scalar curvature $S$, it is shown that the curvature operator $\mathrm{Rm}$ of $M$ satisfies the estimate $|\mathrm{Rm}|\le c\,S$ for some constant $c$. Moreov…

The study pinches the rigidity of self-shrinking surfaces in mean curvature flow.

In this paper, we study harmonic and caloric functions of polynomial growth on a complete non-compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. On one hand, when the scalar curvature satisfies at least quadratic decay, we prove that the space of harmonic functions with fixed polynomial growth degree is finite dimensional. We a…

The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) and ridge regression produce usually different estimates although input, loss function and parameterization of the penalty are identical. In this paper we look for ridge and lasso models with identical solution set. It turns out, that the lasso model with shri…

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…

In [Cheeger-Tian 2005], Cheeger-Tian proved an $ε$-regularity theorem for $4$-dimensional Einstein manifolds without volume assumption.

New proof of shrinking gradient Ricci soliton rigidity.

We prove the following: Let (M,g,X) be a noncompact four dimensional shrinking soliton with bounded nonnegative curvature operator, then (M,g) is isometric to R^4 or a finite quotient of S^2xR^2 or S^3xR. In the process we also show that a complete shrinking soliton (M,g,X) with bounded curvature is gradient and k-nonc…

We develop some estimates under the Ricci flow and use these estimates to study the blowup rates of curvatures at singularities. As applications, we obtain some gap theorems: $\displaystyle \sup_X |Ric|$ and $\displaystyle \sqrt{\sup_X |Rm|} \cdot \sqrt{\sup_X |R|}$ must blowup at least at the rate of type-I. Our estim…
