Nilpotency, almost nonnegative curvature, and the gradient flow on Alexandrov spaces

Abstract

We show that almost nonnegatively curved $m$-manifolds are, up to finite cover, nilpotent spaces in the sense of homotopy theory and have $C(m)$-nilpotent fundamental groups. We also show that up to a finite cover almost nonnegatively curved manifolds are fiber bundles with simply connected fibers over nilmanifolds.
