TOPOLOGY OF MANIFOLDS WITH ASYMPTOTICALLY NONNEGATIVE RICCI CURVATURE
Bazanfare Mahaman 1, 2
(2008-05-05)

In this paper, we study the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with asymptotically nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show that a complete noncompact manifold with asymptoticaly nonnegative Ricci curvature and sectional curvature decay at most quadratically is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean n-space R^n under some conditions on the density of rays starting from the base point p or on the volume growth of geodesic balls in M.
