Abstract: We make some improvements to our previous results. First, we prove a version of our volume growth theorem which does not require any assumption on the first Betti number. Second, we show that our local regularity theorem only requires a lower volume growth assumption, not a full Sobolev constant bound. These results allow us to weaken the assumptions of our previous volume growth and convergence theorems.

Review text

The authors improve some previous results of their own [Invent. Math. 160(2), 357--415 (2005; Zbl 1085.53030)] and [Adv.Math 196(2), 346--372 (2005; Zbl 1252.53045)]. Firstly, they prove a version of their volume growth theorem which does not require any assumption on the first Betti number. Secondly, they show that their local regularity theorem only requires a lower volume growth assumption, but not a full Sobolev constant bound. As an application of these results they can weaken the assumptions of several of their theorems in the above papers.
