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.

Summary

Introduction

Gromoll [1] proved the following classical: Cheeger-Gromoll Splitting Theorem: Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold with. If there is a line in M, the isometrically splitting M R N is true. The proof of Cheeger-Gromoll Splitting Theorem is based on the sub-harmonicity of the Busemann functions, we will give some details in what follows. Let M be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold and
