Examples of open manifolds with almost quadratic volume growth and infinite Betti numbers

We construct a family of examples of complete $(2+n)-$dimensional ($n\ge 2$) open manifolds with positive Ricci curvature, sectional curvature bounded from below and infinite Betti numbers $b_2,b_n$, moreover its volume growth can be arbitrarily close to quadratic volume growth. Compared with some known result of finite topology for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and lower sectional curvature bound, it makes sense to ask whether complete manifolds with such curvature bounds must be of finite topological type or not provided with at most quadratic volume growth.

Manifolds of positive Ricci curvature, quadratically asymptotically nonnegative curvature, and infnite Betti numbers

In a previous paper, we constructed complete manifolds of positive Ricci curvature with quadratically asymptotically nonnegative curvature and infinite topological type but dimension $\ge 6$. The purpose of the present paper is to use a different way to exhibit a family of complete $I$-dimensinal ($I\ge5$) Riemannian manifolds of positive Ricci curvature, quadratically asymptotically nonnegative sectional curvature, and certain infinite Betti number $b_j$ ($2\le j\le I-2$).
