Abstract

We consider a RCD((N1),N)(-(N-1),N) space (X,d,HN)(X,d,\mathcal{H}^N) with local bounded covering geometry. The first result is related to Gromov's almost flat manifold theorem. Specifically, if for every point p~\tilde{p} in the universal cover X~\widetilde{X}, we have HN(B1(p~))v>0\mathcal{H}^N(B_1(\tilde{p})) \ge v > 0 and the diameter of XX is sufficiently small, then XX is biH\"{o}lder homeomorphic to an infranil-manifold. Moreover, if XX is a smooth Riemannian NN-manifold with Ric(N1)\mathrm{Ric} \ge -(N-1), then XX is biH\"{o}lder diffeomorphic to an infranil-manifold. An application of our argument is to confirm the conjecture that Gromov's almost flat manifold theorem holds in the RCD+CBA\mathrm{RCD}+\mathrm{CBA} setting. The second result concerns a regular fibration theorem. Let (Xi,di,HN)(X_i,d_i,\mathcal{H}^N) be a sequence of RCD((N1),N)(-(N-1),N) spaces converging to a compact smooth kk-dimensional manifold KK in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense. Assume that for any piXip_i \in X_i, the local universal cover is non-collapsing, i.e., for any pre-image point p~i\tilde{p}_i of pip_i in the universal cover of the ball B3(pi)B_3(p_i), we have HN(B1(p~i))v\mathcal{H}^N(B_{1}(\tilde{p}_i)) \ge v for some fixed v>0v>0. Then for sufficiently large ii, there exists a fibration map fi:XiKf_i:X_i \to K, where the fiber is an infra-nilmanifold and the structure group is affine.
