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.
