Abstract
We show that for , there are torsion-free CAT(0) groups with visual boundaries that embed into but which are not virtually the fundamental group of a compact aspherical -manifold. The groups are the CAT(0) and not bi-automatic groups constructed previously by Leary and Minasyan. The obstruction comes from analyzing certain cyclic orders on the boundary of the Bass-Serre tree, in the same manner as Kapovich-Kleiner ruled out actions of Baumslag-Solitar groups on coarse spaces.
