## 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 spec

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 complete non‐compact n ‐dimensional Riemannian manifold M with nonnegative Ricci curvature and quadratic curvature decay is diffeomorphic to ℝ^n^ if the volumes of geodesic balls in M grow properly.

## Abstract We present closed graph and open mapping theorems for $ \tilde \lc $‐linear maps acting between suitable classes of topological and locally convex topological $ \tilde \lc $‐modules. This is done by adaptation of De Wilde's theory of webbed spaces and Adasch–Ernst–Keim's theory of barre
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.
