Geometric splitting theorems give hypotheses under which a manifold decomposes as a metric product. The Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem gives a Euclidean line factor for a complete connected Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature containing a globally minimizing geodesic line. Other splitting theorems use different curvature or causal hypotheses.
