Ricci Solitons Days in Pisa 2011

Lorentzian Ricci Solitons

speaker: Eduardo Garcia-Rio (University of Santiago de Compostela)

abstract: We discuss the existence of Ricci solitons (as self-similar solutions of the Ricci flow) in Lorentzian geometry, under some geometrical conditions such us homogeneity or local conformal flatness. It is shown that the existence of many steady Ricci solitons is related to the action of the holonomy, which is indecomposable (but not irreducible) in most cases.
