Abstract

Inspired by a recent work of Wang-Zhao, in this note we prove that for a fixed nn-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold (Mn,g)(M^n, g), if an RCD(K,n)\mathrm{RCD}(K, n) space (X,d,m)(X, \mathsf{d}, \mathfrak{m}) is Gromov-Hausdorff close to MnM^n, then there exists a regular homeomorphism FF from XX to MnM^n such that FF is Lipschitz continuous and that F1F^{-1} is H\"older continuous, where the Lipschitz constant of FF, the H\"older exponent and the H\"older constant of F1F^{-1} can be chosen arbitrary close to 11. This is sharp in the sense that in general such a map cannot be improved to being bi-Lipschitz. Moreover if XX is smooth, then such a homeomorphism can be chosen as a diffeomorphism. It is worth mentioning that the Lipschitz-H\"older continuity of FF improves the intrinsic Reifenberg theorem for closed manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below established by Cheeger-Colding. The Nash embedding theorem plays a key role in the proof.
