“…A Ricci soliton (M, g, ξ, λ) is called shrinking, steady or expanding according to λ > 0, λ = 0, or λ < 0, respectively. A trivial Ricci soliton is one for which ξ is zero or Killing, in which case the metric is Einsteinian (see, for instance, [6,7,10,14,16,17]). Compact Ricci solitons are the fixed points of the Ricci flow:…”
