Volume Growth and Holonomy in Nonnegative Curvature
نویسنده
چکیده
The volume growth of an open manifold of nonnegative sectional curvature is proven to be bounded above by the difference between the codimension of the soul and the maximal dimension of an orbit of the action of the normal holonomy group of the soul. Additionally, an example of a simplyconnected soul with a non-compact normal holonomy group is constructed.

Nonnegatively Curved Vector Bundles with Large Normal Holonomy Groups
When B is a biquotient, we show that there exist vector bundles over B with metrics of nonnegative curvature whose normal holonomy groups have arbitrarily large dimension.
متن کاملOn the Complex Structure of Kähler Manifolds with Nonnegative Curvature
We study the asymptotic behavior of the Kähler-Ricci flow on Kähler manifolds of nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. Using these results we prove that a complete noncompact Kähler manifold with nonnegative bounded holomorphic bisectional curvature and maximal volume growth is biholomorphic to complex Euclidean space C . We also show that the volume growth condition can be removed if ...
متن کاملNonnegative Curvature and Normal Holonomy in Open Manifolds
In this note we are concerned with metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature in open (i.e, complete, noncompact) manifolds. We only try to give an overview of some of the points that have interested the author recently. For a survey of a more general character the reader is strongly encouraged to read [5]. Most of the topics treated in this paper arose from conversations with G. Walschap. We s...
متن کاملTransitive Holonomy Group and Rigidity in Nonnegative Curvature
In this note, we examine the relationship between the twisting of a vector bundle ξ over a manifold M and the action of the holonomy group of a Riemannian connection on ξ. For example, if there is a holonomy group which does not act transitively on each fiber of the corresponding unit sphere bundle, then for any f : Sn → M , the pullback f∗ξ of ξ admits a nowhere-zero cross section. These facts...
متن کاملTopology 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 KM (x) ≥ − C dp(x) is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean n-space R under some conditions on the density of rays starting from the base point p or on the volum...
