We study the structure of manifolds with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature. We prove a compact Riemannian manifold with bounded curvature, diameter bounded from above, and Ricci curvature bounded from below by an almost nonnegative real number such that the first Betti number havingcodimension two is an infranilmanifold or a finite cover is a sphere bundle over a torus. Furthermore, if we assume the Ricci curvature is bounded and volume is bounded from below, then the manifold must be an infranilmanifold.

In this note I prove the following result:—Theorem. A compact, orientable, Riemannian manifold Mn, with positive definite metric and zero Ricci curvature, is flat if the first Betti number R1 exceeds n — 4.In this statement of the theorem it is assumed that the dimensions of Mn are not less than four. If this is not the case, the result is still valid but appears as a purely local result and is true for a metric of arbitrary signature.

We study homeomorphisms of Riemannian manifolds with unbounded characteristic such that the inverse mappings satisfy the Poletsky-type inequality. It is established that their families are equicontinuous if the function Q which is related to the Poletsky inequality and is responsible for a distortion of the modulus, is integrable in the given domain, here the original manifold is connected and the domain of definition and the range of values of mappings have compact closures.

AbstractWe investigate strong maximum (and minimum) principles for fully nonlinear second-order equations on Riemannian manifolds that are non-totally degenerate and satisfy appropriate scaling conditions. Our results apply to a large class of nonlinear operators, among which Pucci’s extremal operators, some singular operators such as those modeled on the p- and $$\infty $$ ∞ -Laplacian, and mean curvature-type problems. As a byproduct, we establish new strong comparison principles for some second-order uniformly elliptic problems when the manifold has nonnegative sectional curvature.
