Almost soliton duality (Q2340220)

Gradient Ricci almost solitons [\textit{S. Pigola} et al., Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci. (5) 10, No. 4, 757--799 (2011; Zbl 1239.53057)] are defined as solitons except that the metric coefficient is allowed to be a smooth function rather than a constant. It is shown that any almost soliton is conformal to another almost soliton having a soliton function which is the negative of the original one. Uniqueness, and the case where both the source and target are solitons, are studied. Completeness of the target metric is also examined in the case when the source is Kähler and admits a special Kähler-Ricci potential.
