Abstract

We give new examples of manifolds that appear as cross sections of tangent cones of non-collapsed Ricci limit spaces. It was shown by Colding-Naber that the homeomorphism types of the tangent cones of a fixed point of such a space do not need to be unique. In fact, they constructed an example in dimension 5 where two different homeomorphism types appear at the same point. In this note, we extend this result and construct limit spaces in all dimensions at least 5 where any finite collection of manifolds that admit core metrics, a type of metric introduced by Perelman and Burdick to study Riemannian metrics of positive Ricci curvature on connected sums, can appear as cross sections of tangent cones of the same point.
