RECENT PROGRESS ON RICCI SOLITONS

by Huai-Dong Cao , 2009
"... In recent years, there has seen much interest and increased research activities in Ricci solitons. 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 pap ..."

RIGIDITY OF GRADIENT RICCI SOLITONS

by Peter Petersen, William Wylie , 2007
"... We define a gradient Ricci soliton to be rigid if it is a flat bundle N×ΓR k where N is Einstein. It is known that not all gradient solitons are rigid. Here we offer several natural conditions on the curvature that characterize rigid gradient solitons. Other related results on rigidity of Ricci soli ..."

A note on Ricci solitons

by Sharief Deshmukh, Haila Alodan, Hana Al-sodais
"... Abstract. In this paper we consider a complete connected Ricci soliton (M, g, ξ, λ) of positive Ricci curvature and assign the Ricci tensor Ric = g, a role of another Riemannian metric on M. It is shown that the identity map i: (M, g) → (M, g) is a harmonic map. In addition, we also study compact s ..."

On gradient Ricci solitons with symmetry

by Peter Petersen, William Wylie
"... We study gradient Ricci solitons with maximal symmetry. First we show that there are no non-trivial homogeneous gradient Ricci solitons. Thus the most symmetry one can expect is an isometric cohomogeneity one group action. Many examples of cohomogeneity one gradient solitons have been constructed. ..."

On Ricci solitons of cohomogeneity one

by Andrew S. Dancer, Mckenzie Y. Wang , 2008
"... We analyse some properties of the cohomogeneity one Ricci soliton equations, and use Ansätze of cohomogeneity one type to produce new explicit examples of complete Kähler Ricci solitons of expanding, steady and shrinking types. These solitons are foliated by hypersurfaces which are circle bundles ov ..."

Stability and instability of Ricci solitons

by Klaus Kröncke
"... We consider the volume-normalized Ricci flow close to compact shrinking Ricci solitons. We show that if a compact Ricci soliton (M, g) is a local maximum of Perelman’s shrinker entropy, any normalized Ricci flow starting close to it exists for all time and converges towards a Ricci soliton. If g is ..."

GENERALISED RICCI SOLITONS

by Paweł Nurowski, Matthew Randall
"... Abstract. We introduce a class of overdetermined systems of partial differ-ential equations of finite type on (pseudo)-Riemannian manifolds that we call the generalised Ricci soliton equations. These equations depend on three real parameters. For special values of the parameters they specialise to v ..."
