In this paper,we prove that a complete n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with n0nnegative kth-Ricci curvature,large volume growth has finite topological type provided that lim{((vol[B(p,r))]/(ω_nr~n)-αM)r(k(n-1))/(k+1)(1-α/2)}=εfor some constantε0.We also prove that a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative kth-Ricci curvature and under some pinching conditions is diffeomorphic to R~n.
