Locally Conformally Flat Lorentzian Gradient Ricci Solitons

It is shown that locally conformally flat Lorentzian gradient Ricci solitons are locally isometric to a Robertson–Walker warped product, if the gradient of the potential function is nonnull, and to a plane wave, if the gradient of the potential function is null. The latter gradient Ricci solitons are necessarily steady.
