A lower bound for the scalar curvature of noncompact nonflat Ricci shrinkers
arXiv:1102.0548
Abstract
We show that recent work of Ni and Wilking yields the result that a noncompact nonflat Ricci shrinker has at most quadratic scalar curvature decay. The examples of noncompact Kähler--Ricci shrinkers by Feldman, Ilmanen, and Knopf exhibit that this result is sharp.
