TL;DR: In this paper, the Ricci curvature of a compact Riemannian manifold was shown to be greater than the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to some fixed smooth vector field.
Abstract: Let the Ricci curvature of a compact Riemannian manifold be greater, at every point, than the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to some fixed smooth vector field. It is shown that the fundamental group then has only finitely many conjugacy classes. This applies, in particular, to all compact shrinking Ricci solitons.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Ricci soliton of a three-dimensional (3D)-Einstein almost-Einstein soliton is a Ricci manifold of constant sectional curvature.
Abstract: Let the metric $g$ of a three-dimensional $\eta$-Einstein almost Kenmotsu manifold $M$ be a Ricci soliton, we prove that $M$ is a Kenmotsu manifold of constant sectional curvature $-1$ and the soliton is expanding.

TL;DR: In this article, a Ricci soliton with a compact contact Ricci homogeneous manifold was shown to be a Sasaki-Einstein manifold, whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field.
Abstract: A compact contact Ricci soliton (whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field) is Sasaki–Einstein. A compact contact homogeneous manifold with a Ricci soliton is Sasaki–Einstein.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if (1,V, λ) is a Ricci soliton where V is collinear with the characteristic vector field ξ, then V is a constant multiple of ξ and the manifold is of constant scalar curvature provided α, β =constant.
Abstract: The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting Ricci solitons and gradient Ricci solitons. We prove that if (1,V, λ) is a Ricci soliton where V is collinear with the characteristic vector field ξ, then V is a constant multiple of ξ and the manifold is of constant scalar curvature provided α, β =constant. Next we prove that in a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold with constant scalar curvature if 1 is a gradient Ricci soliton, then the manifold is either a β-Kenmotsu manifold or an Einstein manifold. As a consequence of this result we obtain several corollaries.
