On the Completeness of Gradient Ricci Solitons

چکیده
A gradient Ricci soliton is a triple (M, g, f) satisfying Rij +∇i∇jf = λgij for some real number λ. In this paper, we will show that the completeness of the metric g implies that of the vector field ∇f .

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...
متن کاملOn 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 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 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 کاملRigidity of Gradient Ricci Solitons
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.
