## Abstract In this article, we study topology of complete non‐compact Riemannian manifolds. We show that a complete open manifold with quadratic curvature decay is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean __n__ ‐space ℝ^__n__^ if it contains enough rays starting from the base point. We also show that a compl

Abstract
We introduce uniform structures of proper metric spaces and open Riemannian manifolds, characterize their (arc) components, present new invariants like e.g. Lipschitz and Gromov–Hausdorff cohomology, specialize to uniform triangulations of manifolds and prove that the presence of a spectral gap above zero is a bounded homotopy invariant.

We prove a general embedding theorem for Sobolev spaces on open manifolds of bounded geometry and infer from this the module structure theorem. Thereafter we apply this to weighted Sobolev spaces.
