Abstract

We investigate the topology of a complete Riemannian manifold whose radial curvature at the base point is bounded from below by that of a von Mangoldt surface of revolution. Sphere theorem is generalized to a wide class of metrics, and it is proven that such a manifold of a noncompact type has finitely many ends.
