Shrinkers with curvature pinching conditions are compact

Abstract

In this paper, we give various curvature pinching conditions such that shrinkers are compact. On one hand, we prove that shrinkers with positive Ricci curvature are compact when they have bounded curvature and certain curvature pinching conditions. On the other hand, we prove that shrinkers with certain asymptotically nonnegative sectional curvature are compact. As applications, some related classifications of shrinkers are provided.
