Abstract

In this paper, we study a family of nn-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary having lower bounds on the Ricci curvatures of interior and boundary and on the second fundamental form of boundary. A sequence of manifolds in this family is said to be inradius collapsed if their inradii tend to zero. We prove that the limit space C0C_0 of boundaries of inradius collapsed manifolds admits an isometric involution ff, and that the limit of the manifolds themselves is isometric to the quotient space C0/fC_0/f. As an application, we show that the number of boundary components of inradius collapsed manifolds is at most two. Moreover, we prove that the limit space has a lower Ricci curvature bound and an upper dimension bound in a synthetic sense if in addition their boundaries are non-collapsed.
