Rigidity of four-dimensional Gradient shrinking Ricci solitons

Published 22 May 2021 in math.DG | (2105.10744v2)

Abstract: Let $(M, g, f)$ be a $4$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+\nabla2f=\lambda g$, where $\lambda$ is a positive real number. We prove that if $M$ has constant scalar curvature $S=2\lambda$, it must be a quotient of $\mathbb{S}2\times \mathbb{R}2$. Together with the known results, this implies that a $4$-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has constant scalar curvature if and only if it is rigid, that is, it is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of Gaussian shrinking soliton $\Bbb{R}4$, $\Bbb{S}{2}\times\Bbb{R}{2}$ or $\Bbb{S}{3}\times\Bbb{R}$.
