The Manifolds with Ricci Curvature Decay to Zero ()
Abstract
The paper quotes the concept of Ricci curvature decay to zero. Base on this new concept, by modifying the proof of the canonical Cheeger-Gromoll Splitting Theorem, the paper proves that for a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold M with Ricci curvature decay to zero, if there is a line in M, then the isometrically splitting M = R × N is true.
