Abstract

A smooth closed manifold MM is called almost Ricci-flat if infgRicgdiamg(M)2=0\inf_g||\textrm{Ric}_g||_\infty\cdot \textrm{diam}_g(M)^2=0 where Ricg\textrm{Ric}_g and diamg\textrm{diam}_g denote the Ricci tensor and the diameter of gg respectively and gg runs over all Riemannian metrics on MM. By using Kummer-type method we construct a smooth closed almost Ricci-flat nonspin 5-manifold MM which is simply connected. It's minimal volume vanishes, namely it collapses with sectional curvature bounded.
