Abstract: We prove that any shrinking Kahler Ricci soliton has only one end, and that any expanding Kahler Ricci soliton with proper potential has only one end.


In this paper the authors use the following curvature equation, called \textit{Bakry-Emery curvature} denoted by \(\mathrm{Ric}_f\) \[ \mathrm{Ric}_f = \mathrm{Ric} + \mathrm{Hess}(f) \] where \(f\) is a smooth function on a Riemannian manifold \((M, g)\). It is known that, with respect to this function \(f\), \((M, g)\) is a gradient Ricci soliton if \(\mathrm{Ric}_f = \lambda g\) for some constant \(\lambda \in \mathbb R\). Solitons are shrinking, steady or expanding according as \(\lambda > 0\), \(\lambda = 0\) or \(\lambda < 0\), respectively. They prove that a gradient Kähler shrinking Ricci soliton \((M, g)\) is connected at infinity, that is, it has only one end. Also, they have obtained a sharp point-wise lower bound for the weight function of any smooth metric measure space, in term of a lower bound of Bakry-Emery curvature.
