Ends of complete gradient ρ−Einstein solitons
gradient ρ−Einstein solitons, ends, parabolicity, connectedness at infinity
In this thesis we consider ends of complete gradient ρ−Einstein solitons by adapting and extending the techniques used to describe ends of Ricci solitons. For shrinking Schouten solitons we show that there is at most one f-non-parabolic end, where f stands for the potential function. Also, under an appropriate bound on the scalar curvature, we show that all ends of a shrinking Schouten soliton are non-parabolic. With no additional assumptions, we show that an expanding Schouten soliton must be connected at infinity, that is, it has only one end, unless it is a rigid Ricci soliton. Regarding ρ−Einstein solitons with ρ [0, ), we provide bounds on the scalar curvature for a shrinking soliton to be connected at infinity.
