Complete Ricci solitons via estimates on the soliton potential

Matthias Wink

As on arXiv

Abstract

In this paper a growth estimate on the soliton potential is shown for a large class of cohomogeneity one manifolds. This is used to construct continuous families of complete steady and expanding Ricci solitons in the set-ups of Lü-Page-Pope and Dancer-Wang. It also provides a different approach to the two summands system which applies to all known geometric examples.
