MANIFOLDS WITH NONNEGATIVE RICCI CURVATURE ALMOST EVERYWHERE

  • Published : 1999.01.01

Abstract

Under the condition of RicM $\geq$ -(n-1), injM $\geq$ I0, we prove the existence of an $\varepsilon$>0 such that on the region of volume $\varepsilon$>0 the curvature condition of splitting theorem can be weakened.
