As Andreas Blass and others surmised, this is indeed an abstract. It was for a 10-minute talk at the Annual Meeting in January, 1975. Here is the entire "paper": > **On Manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature II** > > Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional > Riemannian manifold with nonnegative > Ricci curvature. Then the exponential > mapping $\exp_p$ for any $p\in M$ , > restricted to the domain bounded by > the cut locus, is everywhere volume > decreasing.From this fact one deduces > the following THEOREM. Let $M$ be a > Riemannian, $n$-dimensional, complete > manifold with nonnegative Ricci > curvature. Then, if $r$ denotes the > injectivity radius and $D$ the > geodesic diameter of $M$ , the volume > $V$ of $M$ satisfies $V \ge c_n > r^{n-1}D$, where $c_n$ is a positive > constant depending on $n$ . In > particular, if $M$ is not compact (i. > e. if $D=\infty$), the volume of $M$ , > under the same assumptions, is > infinite. (Received November 6, 1974.) A couple of notes. I reproduced the capitalization and (non)hyphenation of the title as it appeared in the *Notices*. I also tried to preserve some oddities in punctuation in the text, but otherwise "TeX-ified" it; the original is literally typed, with a handwritten $\in$ symbol.
