We prove that a convergence in the Gromov-Hausdorff distance of manifolds with minimal radial curvature bounded from below by 1 to the standard sphere is equivalent to a volume convergence.

Manifolds Close to the round Sphere
We prove that the manifold Mn of minimal radial curvature Kmin o ≥ 1 is homeomorphic to the sphere Sn if its radius or volume is larger than half the radius or volume of the round sphere of constant curvature 1. These results are optimal and give a complete generalization of the corresponding results for manifolds of sectional curvature bounded from below. 0. Introduction and results 0.1. A sta...
متن کاملOn the structure of Riemannian manifolds of almost nonnegative Ricci curvature
We study the structure of manifolds with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature. We prove a compact Riemannian manifold with bounded curvature, diameter bounded from above, and Ricci curvature bounded from below by an almost nonnegative real number such that the first Betti number having codimension two is an infranilmanifold or a finite cover is a sphere bundle over a torus. Furthermore, if we ass...
متن کاملTotal Curvatures of Model Surfaces Control Topology of Complete Open Manifolds with Radial Curvature Bounded Below. I
We investigate the finiteness structure of a complete open Riemannian n-manifold M whose radial curvature at a base point of M is bounded from below by that of a non-compact von Mangoldt surface of revolution with its total curvature greater than π. We show, as our main theorem, that all Busemann functions on M are exhaustions, and that there exists a compact subset of M such that the compact s...
متن کاملGeneralized Alexandrov–toponogov Theorems for Radially Curved Manifolds and Their Applications
We investigate the topology of complete Riemannian manifolds with the radial curvature at the base manifold bounded below by those of model surfaces. Here, model surfaces are generalized surfaces of revolution and warped product models which are diffeomorphic to S.
متن کاملMinimal volume and simplicial norm of visibility n-manifolds and all 3-manifolds
In this paper, we present an elementary proof of the following result. Theorem A. Let Mn denote a closed Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature and let M̃n be the universal cover of Mn with the lifted metric. Suppose that the universal cover M̃n contains no totally geodesic embedded Euclidean plane R2 (i.e., Mn is a visibility manifold ). Then Gromov’s simplicial volume ∥Mn∥ is ...
