In this paper we develop a structure theory of Einstein manifolds or manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bounds for certain singular spaces that arise as geometric limits of sequences of Riemannian manifolds. This theory generalizes the results that were obtained by Cheeger, Colding and Naber in the smooth setting. In the course of the paper, we will carefully characterize the assumptions that we have to impose on this sequence of Riemannian manifolds in order to guarantee that the individual results hold.An important aspect of our approach is that we don't need impose any Ricci curvature bounds on the sequence of Riemannian manifolds leading to the singular limit. The Ricci curvature bounds will only be required to hold on the regular part of the limit and we will not impose any (synthetic) curvature condition on its singular part.The theory developed in this paper will have applications in the blowup analysis of certain geometric equations in which we study scales that are much larger than the local curvature scale. In particular, this theory will have applications in the study of Ricci flows of bounded scalar curvature, which we will describe in a subsequent paper.
