    In this study, the propagation and control of Airy-Gaussian beams in Gaussian parity-time (PT) symmetric media are investigated numerically, by utilizing the nonlinear Schrödinger equation as a theoretical model. The impacts of the characteristic parameters of Gaussian PT symmetric media (modulation depth P, modulation factor ω, and gain/loss factor W0) and the characteristic parameters of Airy-Gaussian beams (truncation factor a, distribution factor χ0) on propagation characteristics of Airy-Gaussian beams are examined in detail. The results demonstrate that the Airy-Gaussian beams can produce oscillating solitons and transmit steadily in Gaussian PT symmetric media. The soliton strength increases with the increase of P, W0, and a, and decreases with the increase of ω. The oscillation period decreases with the increase of P and ω and increases with the increase of W0. When χ0 increases, when 0<χ0<0.55, the peak intensity of the soliton does not change obviously; when χ0>0.55, the peak intensity of the soliton decreases rapidly. This research can offer a theoretical foundation for the use of soliton transmission in complicated heterogeneous media and all-optical control.
