Abstract

In this paper, we study the Ricci flat manifolds with maximal volume growth using Perelman's reduced volume of Ricci flow. We show that if (Mn,g)(M^n,g) is an noncompact complete Ricci flat manifold with maximal volume growth satisfying Rm(x)0|Rm|(x)\to 0 as d(x)=dg(x,p)d(x)=d_g(x,p)\to \infty, then MnM^n has the quadratic curvature decay. Some applications to this result are also presented.
