Abstract

In \cite{CC1}, Cheeger-Colding considered manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bound and gave some almost rigidity results about warped products including almost metric cone rigidity and quantitative splitting theorem. As a generalization of manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bound, for metric measure spaces in RCD(K,N)RCD(K, N), 1<N<1<N<\infty, splitting theorem \cite{Gi13} and "volume cone implies metric cone" rigidity for balls and annuluses of a point \cite{PG} have been proved. In this paper we will generalize Cheeger-Colding's \cite{CC1} result about "almost volume cone implies almost metric cone for annuluses of a compact subset " to RCD(K,N)RCD(K, N)-spaces. More precisely, consider a RCD(K,N)RCD(K, N)-space (X,d,m)(X, d, \mathfrak m) and a Borel subset ΩX\Omega\subset X. If the closed subset S=ΩS=\partial \Omega has finite outer curvature, the diameter diam(S)D{diam}(S)\leq D and the mean curvature of SS satisfies m(x)m,xS,m(x)\leq m, \, \forall x\in S, and \begin{equation*}\mathfrak m(A_{a, b}(S))\geq (1-\epsilon)\int_a^b \left({sn}'_H(r)+ \frac{m}{n-1}{sn}_H(r)\right)^{n-1}dr \mathfrak m_S(S)\end{equation*} then Aa,b(S)A_{a', b'}(S) is measured Gromov-Hausdorff close to a warped product (a,b)×snH(r)+mn1snH(r)Y,(a', b')\times_{{sn}'_H(r)+ \frac{m}{n-1}{sn}_H(r)}Y, Aa,b(S)={xXΩ,a<d(x,S)<b}A_{a, b}(S)=\{x\in X\setminus \Omega, \, a<d(x, S)<b\}, a<a<b<ba<a'<b'<b, YY is a metric space with finite components with each component is a RCD(0,N1)RCD(0, N-1)-space when m=0,K=0m=0, K=0 and is a RCD(N2,N1)RCD(N-2, N-1)-space for other cases and H=KN1H=\frac{K}{N-1}. Note that when m=0,K=0m=0, K=0, our result is a kind of quantitative splitting theorem and in other cases it is an almost metric cone rigidity. To prove this result, different from \cite{Gi13, PG}, we will use \cite{GiT}'s second order differentiation formula and a method similar as \cite{CC1}.
