Topology of Manifolds with Asymptotically Nonnegative Ricci Curvature

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.

Sphere Theorem for Manifolds with Positive Curvature

In this paper, we prove that, for any integer $n\ge 2,$ there exists an $ε_{n} \ge 0$ so that if $M$ is an n-dimensional complete manifold with sectional curvature $ K_{M}\ge 1$ and if $M$ has conjugate radius bigger than $\fracπ{2} $ and contains a geodesic loop of length $2(π-ε_{n}),$ then $M$ is diffeomorphic to the Euclidian unit sphere $S^{n}.$
