Abstract:
We study the topology of complete noncompact manifolds with non-negative sectional curvatures isometrically immersed in Euclidean spaces with codimension two. We investigate some conditions which imply that such a manifold is a topological product of a soul by a Euclidean space and this gives a complete topological description of this manifold.References
