Rigidity of Gradient Ricci Solitons

چکیده
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 solitons are also explained in the last section.

A Ricci Nilsoliton Is Nongradient
where λ is the soliton constant. In [2], Lauret proves the existence of many left invariant Ricci solitons on nilpotent Lie groups. The first explicit construction of Lauret solitons has been obtained by Baird and Danielo in [4]. In particular they show that the soliton structure on Nil is of nongradient type. Remarkably this is the first example of nongradient Ricci soliton. In [5], it is prov...

We show that if two gradient Ricci solitons are asymptotic along some end of each to the same regular cone ((0,∞)× Σ, dr + r2gΣ), then the soliton metrics must be isometric on some neighborhoods of infinity of these ends. Our theorem imposes no restrictions on the behavior of the metrics off of the ends in question and in particular does not require their geodesic completeness. As an applicatio...

The aim of this paper is to characterize $3$-dimensional $N(k)$-paracontact metric manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. We prove that a $3$-dimensional $N(k)$-paracontact metric manifold $M$ admits a Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field $xi$ if and only if the manifold is a paraSasaki-Einstein manifold. Several consequences of this result are discuss...
متن کاملGeometry of compact shrinking Ricci solitons
Einstein manifolds are trivial examples of gradient Ricci solitons with constant potential function and thus they are called trivial Ricci solitons. In this paper, we prove two characterizations of compact shrinking trivial Ricci solitons. M.S.C. 2010: 53C25.
متن کاملOn Gradient Ricci Solitons with Symmetry
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. However, we apply the main result in [12] to show that there are no noncompact cohomogeneity one s...
