We focus on a geometric invariant associated to any noncompact Riemannian manifold : the asymptotic curvature ratio introduced by Gromov. We study how it interacts with the topology of the underlying manifold with other geometric constraints such as positive asymptotic volume ratio, nonnegative (Ricci) curvature and finiteness of the fundamental group (at infinity).

On s’intéresse ici à un invariant géométrique associé à toute variété riemannienne non compacte : le rapport asymptotique de courbure. On étudie son influence sur la topologie de la variété sous-jacente en présence d’autres contraintes géométrico-topologiques portant sur le volume asymptotique, la positivité de la courbure (de Ricci) et/ou la finitude du groupe fondamental (à l’infini).
