Solvable Algebraic Generalized Ricci Solitons in low dimensions

Abstract

We prove new structural results for algebraic generalized Ricci solitons on solvable Lie algebras and we discuss the existence of examples in low dimensions. We establish that all non-trivial solvable algebraic generalized Ricci solitons must be expanding and give necessary conditions for the existence of such solitons on one-dimensional extensions of abelian Lie algebras. Finally, we classify algebraic generalized Ricci solitons on three-dimensional Lie algebras, and algebraic generalized Ricci solitons on four-dimensional solvable unimodular Lie algebras, up to isometry and scaling.
