Gradient shrinking Ricci solitons of half harmonic Weyl curvature

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove that a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with δW±=0δW^{\pm}=0 is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of S3×RS^3\times\mathbb{R}, S2×R2S^2\times\mathbb{R}^2 or R4\mathbb{R}^4. We also prove that a four-dimensional cscK gradient Ricci soliton is either Kähler-Einstein, or a finite quotient of M×CM\times\mathbb{C}, where MM is a Riemann surface. The main arguments are curvature decompositions, the Weitzenböck formula for half Weyl curvature, and the maximum principle.
