Complete shrinking Ricci solitons have finite fundamental group

Abstract:We show that if a complete Riemannian manifold supports a vector field such that the Ricci tensor plus the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to the vector field has a positive lower bound, then the fundamental group is finite. In particular, it follows that complete shrinking Ricci solitons and complete smooth metric measure spaces with a positive lower bound on the Bakry-Emery tensor have finite fundamental group. The method of proof is to generalize arguments of García-Río and Fernández-López in the compact case.

Keywords:Ricci soliton  noncompact manifold  fundamental group
