Abstract: Let (M,g) be an ndimensional complete open Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature verifying hoDeltaghogeqn5geq0, where Deltag is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on (M,g) and ho is the distance function from a given point. If (M,g) supports a second-order Sobolev inequality with a constant C>0 close to the optimal constant K0 in the second-order Sobolev inequality in mathbbRn, we show that a global volume non-collapsing property holds on (M,g). The latter property together with a Perelman-type construction established by Munn (J. Geom. Anal., 2010) provide several rigidity results in terms of the higher-order homotopy groups of (M,g). Furthermore, it turns out that (M,g) supports the second-order Sobolev inequality with the constant C=K0 if and only if (M,g) is isometric to the Euclidean space mathbbRn.
