Abstract

Suppose a group GG is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection \PP\PP of its subgroups and also acts properly, cocompactly on a \CAT(0)\CAT(0) (or δ\delta--hyperbolic) space XX. The relatively hyperbolic structure provides a relative boundary (G,\PP)\partial(G,\PP). The \CAT(0)\CAT(0) structure provides a different boundary at infinity X\partial X. In this article, we examine the connection between these two spaces at infinity. In particular, we show that (G,\PP)\partial (G,\PP) is GG--equivariantly homeomorphic to the space obtained from X\partial X by identifying the peripheral limit points of the same type.
