Abstract: In this paper, we continue to investigate the second variation of Perelman's $u$-entropy for compact shrinking Ricci solitons. In particular, we improve some of our previous work in "H.-D. Cao and M. Zhu, Math. Ann. 353 (2012), No. 3, 747-763" and the more recent work in "M. Mansour and R. Asadollah, arXiv:2104.08343" and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a compact shrinking Ricci soliton to be linearly stable. Our work also extends similar results of Hamilton, Ilmanen and the first author in "arXiv:math.DG/0404165" (see also "H.-D. Cao and C. He, J. Reine Angew. Math. 2015 (2015), no. 709, 229-246.") for positive Einstein manifolds to the compact shrinking Ricci soliton case.
