title: Ricci soliton
text: In differential geometry, a complete Riemannian manifold is called a Ricci soliton if, and only if, there exists a smooth vector field V such that - Ric ⁡ = λ g − 1 2 L V g, for some constant λ ∈ R. Here Ric is the Ricci curvature tensor and L represents the Lie derivative. If there exists a function f : M → R such that V = ∇ f we call a gradient Ricci soliton and the soliton equation becomes - Ric ⁡ + ∇ 2 f = λ g. Note that when V = 0 or f = 0 the above equations reduce to the Einstein equ
