The Topology of Open Manifolds with Nonnegative Ricci Curvature

Differential Geometry 2008-09-09 v2

Abstract

We survey all results concerning the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature that have no additional conditions other than restrictions to the dimension, volume growth or diameter growth of the manifold. We will also present relevant examples and list open problems.
