Kählerity of complete almost-Kähler gradient shrinking Ricci solitons
As on arXiv
Abstract
In this paper, we prove that any complete, compact or noncompact, almost-Kähler gradient shrinking Ricci soliton is Kähler in arbitrary even dimension. Among other applications, combining our result with the classification of complete gradient shrinking Kähler-Ricci solitons in complex dimension two, we obtain a full classification of complete almost-Kähler gradient shrinking Ricci solitons in real dimension four.
