Geometry of Ricci solitons (Q2431984)

This paper is a survey of recent developments on Ricci solitons. \ A Ricci soliton is a complete Riemannian metric \(g_{ij}\) on a manifold \(M\) having a vector field \(V\) and constant \(\rho \) so that the Ricci tensor satisfies \(2R_{ij}+\nabla _{i}V_{j}+\nabla _{j}V_{i}=2\rho g_{ij}.\) These are generalization of Einstein metrics.
