Ricci Solitons on Pseudo-Riemannian Hypersurfaces of 4-dimensional Minkowski space

Abstract

In this article, we get classification theorems for a Ricci soliton on the pseudo-Riemannian hypersurface of the Minkowski space ${\mathbb{E}}_1^4$ taking the potential vector field as the tangent component of the position vector of the pseudo-Riemannian hypersurface, denoted by $(M,g,{\mathbf{x}}^T,\lambda )$ in both Riemannian and Lorentzian settings. First, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition that a pseudo-Riemannian hypersurface $(M,g)$ in ${\mathbb{E}}_1^4$ admits a Ricci soliton $(M,g,{\mathbf{x}}^T,\lambda )$. In each of the form of the shape operator of a pseudo-Riemannian hypersurface, we obtain characterization a Ricci soliton on a pseudo-Riemannian hypersurface. More precisely, we show that totally umbilical hypersurfaces, hyperbolic and a pseudo-spherical cylinder in ${\mathbb{E}}_1^4$ is a shrinking Ricci soliton whose the potential vector field is the tangent part of the position vector. Furthermore, we conclude that there exists only a shrinking Ricci soliton on a Lorentzian isoparametric hypersurface in ${\mathbb{E}}_1^4$ with nondiagonalizable shape operator whose the minimal polynomial has double real roots.
