Four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with half positive isotropic curvature
As on arXiv
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the geometry of 4-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with half positive isotropic curvature (half PIC) or half nonnegative isotropic curvature. Our first main result is a certain form of curvature estimates for such Ricci shrinkers, including a quadratic curvature lower bound estimate for noncompact ones with half PIC. As a consequence, we obtain a new and more direct proof of the classification result, first observed by Li-Ni-Wang [35], for gradient shrinking Kähler-Ricci solitons of complex dimension two with nonnegative isotropic curvature. Moreover, based on a strong maximum principle argument, we classify 4-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with half nonnegative isotropic curvature (except the half PIC case). Finally, we treat the half PIC case under an additional assumption on the Ricci tensor.
