Ricci Solitons on Compact Three-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
In this short article we show that there are no compact three-dimensional Ricci solitons other than spaces of constant curvature. This generalizes a result obtained for surfaces by Hamilton [4]. The proof involves a careful analysis of the ODE for the curvature which is associated to the Ricci flow.

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 کاملRicci solitons in contact metric manifolds
In N(k)-contact metric manifolds and/or (k, μ)-manifolds, gradient Ricci solitons, compact Ricci solitons and Ricci solitons with V pointwise collinear with the structure vector field ξ are studied. Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C15, 53C25, 53A30.
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 کاملA Characterization of Koiso’s Typed Solitons
By extending Koiso’s examples to the non-compact case, we construct complete gradient Kähler-Ricci solitons of various types on certain holomorphic line bundles over compact Kähler-Einstein manifolds. Moreover, a uniformization result on steady gradient Kähler-Ricci solitons with nonnegative Ricci curvature is obtained under additional assumptions.
متن کاملGradient Kähler-Ricci Solitons and Periodic Orbits
We study Hamiltonian dynamics of gradient Kähler-Ricci solitons that arise as limits of dilations of singularities of the Ricci flow on compact Kähler manifolds. Our main result is that the underlying spaces of such gradient solitons must be Stein manifolds. Moreover, on all most all energy surfaces of the potential function f of such a soliton, the Hamiltonian vector field Vf of f , with respe...
