Abstract: |
The authors establish some uniform estimates for the distance to halfway points of minimal
geodesics in terms of the distantce to end points on some types of Riemannian manifolds, and
then prove some theorems about the finite generation of fundamental group of Riemannian
manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, which support the famous Milnor conjecture. |
