Generic Properties of Homogeneous Ricci Solitons

چکیده
We discuss the geometry of homogeneous Ricci solitons. After showing the nonexistence of compact homogeneous and noncompact steady homogeneous solitons, we concentrate on the study of left invariant Ricci solitons. We show that, in the unimodular case, the Ricci soliton equation does not admit solutions in the set of left invariant vector fields. We prove that a left invariant soliton of gradient type must be a Riemannian product with nontrivial Euclidean de Rham factor. As an application of our results we prove that any generalized metric Heisenberg Lie group is a nongradient left invariant Ricci soliton of expanding type.

On three-dimensional $N(k)$-paracontact metric manifolds and Ricci solitons
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 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...
متن کاملLinear Stability of Homogeneous Ricci Solitons
As a step toward understanding the analytic behavior of Type-III Ricci flow singularities, i.e. immortal solutions that exhibit |Rm | ≤ C/t curvature decay, we examine the linearization of an equivalent flow at fixed points discovered recently by Baird–Danielo and Lott: nongradient homogeneous expanding Ricci solitons on nilpotent or solvable Lie groups. For all explicitly known nonproduct exam...
متن کاملOn the Long-time Behavior of Type-iii Ricci Flow Solutions
We show that three-dimensional homogeneous Ricci flow solutions that admit finite-volume quotients have long-time limits given by expanding solitons. We show that the same is true for a large class of four-dimensional homogeneous solutions. We give an extension of Hamilton’s compactness theorem that does not assume a lower injectivity radius bound, in terms of Riemannian groupoids. Using this, ...
متن کاملA Remark on Ricci Breathers and Solitons
In this article we give a brief survey of breather and soliton solutions to the Ricci flow and prove a no breather and soliton theorem for homogeneous solutions.
