Ends of (singular) Ricci shrinkers

Abstract

We estimate the number of ends of smooth and singular Ricci shrinkers focussing first on general ends and later on asymptotically conical ones. In particular, we obtain a variety of applications to sequences of Ricci shrinkers converging in a weak pointed sense to a possibly singular limit Ricci shrinker, for instance no new conical end can form in the limit.
