Geometry of shrinking Ricci solitons

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the curvature behavior of four dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons. For such soliton M with bounded scalar curvature S, it is shown that the curvature operator mathrmRm of M satisfies the estimate |mathrmRm|lec,S for some constant c. Moreover, the curvature operator mathrmRm is asymptotically nonnegative at infinity and admits a lower bound mathrmRmgeq−c,left(lnright)−1/4, where r is the distance function to a fixed point in M. As application, we prove that if the scalar curvature converges to zero at infinity, then the manifold must be asymptotically conical. As a separate issue, a diameter upper bound for compact shrinking gradient Ricci solitons of arbitrary dimension is derived in terms of the injectivity radius.
