Rigidity of positively curved shrinking Ricci solitons in dimension four


Abstract in English

We classify four-dimensional shrinking Ricci solitons satisfying $Sec geq frac{1}{24} R$, where $Sec$ and $R$ denote the sectional and the scalar curvature, respectively. They are isometric to either $mathbb{R}^{4}$ (and quotients), $mathbb{S}^{4}$, $mathbb{RP}^{4}$ or $mathbb{CP}^{2}$ with their standard metrics.
