| contents | We prove two rigidity theorems for open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and the infimum of volume growth order $<2$. The first theorem asserts that the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ has Euclidean volume growth if and only if $M$ is flat with an $n-1$ dimensional soul. The second theorem asserts that there exists a nonconstant linear growth harmonic function on $M$ if and only if $M$ is isometric to the metric product $\mathbb{R}\times N$ for some compact manifold $N$. |
