Abstract: We prove, as our main theorem, the finiteness of topological type of a complete open Riemannian manifold $M$ with a base point $pinM$ whose radial curvature at $p$ is bounded from below by that of a non-compact model surface of revolution $ildeM$ which admits a finite total curvature and has no pair of cut points in a sector. Here a sector is, by definition, a domain cut off by two meridians emanating from the base point $ildepinildeM$. Notice that our model $ildeM$ does not always satisfy the diameter growth condition introduced by Abresch and Gromoll. In order to prove the main theorem, we need a new type of the Toponogov comparison theorem. As an application of the main theorem, we present a partial answer to Milnor's open conjecture on the fundamental group of complete open manifolds.
