Rigidity of Five-Dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons

TL;DR

This paper proves that 5-dimensional complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with bounded curvature and scalar curvature 1 are essentially quotients of a product of three-dimensional Euclidean space and a 2-sphere.

Contribution

Abstract

Suppose $(M, g, f)$ is a 5-dimensional complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton with $R=1$. If it has bounded curvature, we prove that it is a finite quotient of $\mathbb{R}^3\times \mathbb{S}^2$.
