In this paper, we prove that if M is an open manifold with nonnegativeRicci curvature and large volume growth, positive critical radius, then sup Cp = ∞.As an application, we give a theorem which supports strongly Petersen's conjecture.
In this paper we prove that tile set of Riemannian manifolds with parallel Ricci curvature, lower bounds for sectional curvature and injectivity radius and a upper bound for volume is coo compact in Gromov-Hausdroff topology. As an application we also prove a pinching result which states that a Ricci flat manifold is flat under certain conditions.
This paper gives an estimate of excess functions of rays on complete non-compact manifolds. By using this estimation, the authors can get the results in [3] as corollaries, which asserts that a complete manifold is diffeomorphic to Rn under some curvature and pinching conditions. At last, they obtain a refinement of them with extra Ricci condition.
