In this paper we classify the four dimensional gradient shrinking solitons under certain curvature conditions satisfied by all solitons arising from finite time singularities of Ricci flow on compact four manifolds with positive isotropic curvature. As a corollary we generalize a result of Perelman on three dimensional gradient shrinking solitons to dimension four.

The main purpose of this article is to provide an alternate proof to a result of Perelman on gradient shrinking solitons. In dimension three we also generalize the result by removing the $kappa$-non-collapsing assumption. In high dimension this new method allows us to prove a classification result on gradient shrinking solitons with vanishing Weyl curvature tensor, which includes the rotationally symmetric ones.
In this article, we study four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. We prove that a four-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a pointwise condition involving either the self-dual or anti-self-dual part of the Weyl tensor is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of either the Gaussian shrinking soliton $Bbb{R}^4,$ or $Bbb{S}^{3}timesBbb{R}$, or $Bbb{S}^{2}timesBbb{R}^{2}.$ In addition, we provide some curvature estimates for four-dimensional complete gradient Ricci solitons assuming that its scalar curvature is suitable bounded by the potential function.
Let $(M, g, f)$ be a $4$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+ abla^2f=lambda g$, where $lambda$ is a positive real number. We prove that if $M$ has constant scalar curvature $S=2lambda$, it must be a quotient of $mathbb{S}^2times mathbb{R}^2$. 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 $Bbb{R}^4$, $Bbb{S}^{2}timesBbb{R}^{2}$ or $Bbb{S}^{3}timesBbb{R}$.
We show that gradient shrinking, expanding or steady Ricci solitons have potentials leading to suitable reference probability measures on the manifold. For shrinking solitons, as well as expanding soltions with nonnegative Ricci curvature, these reference measures satisfy sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with lower bounds characterized by the geometry of the manifold. The geometric invariant appearing in the sharp lower bound is shown to be nonnegative. We also characterize the expanders when such invariant is zero. In the proof various useful volume growth estimates are also established for gradient shrinking and expanding solitons. In particular, we prove that the {it asymptotic volume ratio} of any gradient shrinking soliton with nonnegative Ricci curvature must be zero.
By using fixed point argument we give a proof for the existence of singular rotationally symmetric steady and expanding gradient Ricci solitons in higher dimensions with metric $g=frac{da^2}{h(a^2)}+a^2g_{S^n}$ for some function $h$ where $g_{S^n}$ is the standard metric on the unit sphere $S^n$ in $mathbb{R}^n$ for any $nge 2$. More precisely for any $lambdage 0$ and $c_0>0$, we prove that there exist infinitely many solutions $hin C^2((0,infty);mathbb{R}^+)$ for the equation $2r^2h(r)h_{rr}(r)=(n-1)h(r)(h(r)-1)+rh_r(r)(rh_r(r)-lambda r-(n-1))$, $h(r)>0$, in $(0,infty)$ satisfying $underset{substack{rto 0}}{lim},r^{sqrt{n}-1}h(r)=c_0$ and prove the higher order asymptotic behaviour of the global singular solutions near the origin. We also find conditions for the existence of unique global singular solution of such equation in terms of its asymptotic behaviour near the origin.
