First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some rigidity results for non-compact gradient expanding and shrinking Ricci solitons with pinched Ricci and scalar curvatures, assuming an asymptotic condition on the scalar curvature at infinity.Ricci solitonsScalar curvatureStability & uniquenessBoundaries & non-compact https://neckpinch.com/papers/2207.04259/arxiv:2207.04259Sat, 09 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMTBenedito Leandro, Jeferson Poveda — We prove that a steady gradient Ricci soliton is either Ricci flat with a constant potential function or a quotient of the product steady soliton Nⁿ⁻¹×ℝ, where Nⁿ⁻¹ is Ricci flat, or isometric to the Bryant soliton (up to scalings), provided that a couple of geometric conditions inspired by the cigar soliton hold. As an application, we prove that any complete non-compact steady Ricci soliton with positive Ricci curvature controlled by the scalar curvature R, curvature tensor Rm satisfying |Rm|r→ o(1) and R→∞, as r→∞, must be the Bryant soliton. Moreover, we prove that any complete steady soliton with positively pinched Ricci curvature must be Ricci flat.Ricci solitonsAncient solutionsRicci-flat & Calabi–YauScalar curvatureBoundaries & non-compact
