Abstract We give some conditions for a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with lower quadratic curvature decay to have finite topological type. Most of our curvature conditions are much weaker than the assumptions in Lott [5] and in Sha–Shen [10], hence our results can be viewed as natural generalizations of those works.

AbstractWe give conditions which imply that a complete noncompact manifold with quadratic curvature decay has finite topological type. In particular, we find links between the topology of a manifold with quadratic curvature decay and some properties of the asymptotic cones of such a manifold.

AbstractFor an orientable surfaceSof finite topological type with genusg≥ 3, we construct a finite set of curves whose union of iterated rigid expansions is the curve graph$\mathcal{C}$(S). The set constructed, and the method of rigid expansion, are closely related to Aramayona and Leiniger's finite rigid set in Aramayona and Leininger,J. Topology Anal.5(2) (2013), 183–203 and Aramayona and Leininger,Pac. J. Math.282(2) (2016), 257–283, and in fact a consequence of our proof is that Aramayona and Leininger's set also exhausts the curve graph via rigid expansions.

In [1], [4], and [6] the authors have studied index problems associated with the ‘coarse geometry’ of a metric space, which typically might be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold or a group equipped with a word metric. The second author has introduced a cohomology theory, coarse cohomology, which is functorial on the category of metric spaces and coarse maps, and which can be computed in many examples. Associated to such a metric space there is also a C*-algebra generated by locally compact operators with finite propagation. In this note we will show that for suitable decompositions of a metric space there are Mayer–Vietoris sequences both in coarse cohomology and in the K-theory of the C*-algebra. As an application we shall calculate the K-theory of the C*-algebra associated to a metric cone. The result is consistent with the calculation of the coarse cohomology of the cone, and with a ‘coarse’ version of the Baum–Connes conjecture.

AbstractWe consider a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold M and give conditions on a compact submanifold K ⊂ M so that the outward normal exponential map off the boundary of K is a diffeomorphism onto M\K. We use this to compactify M and show that pinched negative sectional curvature outside K implies M has a compactification with a well-defined Hölder structure independent of K. The Hölder constant depends on the ratio of the curvature pinching. This extends and generalizes a 1985 result of Anderson and Schoen.

We prove that curve complexes of surfaces are finitely rigid: for every orientable surface S of finite topological type, we identify a finite subcomplex 𝔛 of the curve complex [Formula: see text] such that every locally injective simplicial map [Formula: see text] is the restriction of an element of [Formula: see text], unique up to the (finite) pointwise stabilizer of 𝔛 in [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, if S is not a twice-punctured torus, then we can replace [Formula: see text] in this statement with the extended mapping class group Mod ±(S).
