Abstract

We investigate the influence of uniformly positive scalar curvature on the size of a non-collapsed Ricci limit space coming from a sequence of nn-manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and uniformly positive scalar curvature. We prove that such a limit space splits at most n2n-2 lines or R\mathbb{R}-factors. When this maximal splitting occurs, we obtain a uniform upper bound on the diameter of the non-splitting factor. Moreover, we obtain a volume gap estimate and a volume growth order estimate of geodesic balls on such manifolds.
