Abstract: Let $M^n$ be a complete, open Riemannian manifold with $Ricgeq0$. In 1994, Grigori Perelman showed that there exists a constant $delt{a}_n>0$, depending only on the dimension of the manifold, such that if the volume growth satisfies $alph{a}_M:=li{m}_{roinfty}fracVol(B_p(r))omeg{a}_n{r}^{n}geq1-delt{a}_n$, then $M^n$ is contractible. Here we employ the techniques of Perelman to find specific lower bounds for the volume growth, $alpha(k,n)$, depending only on $k$ and $n$, which guarantee the individual $k$-homotopy group of $M^n$ is trivial.
