Abstract

We build an analogue of the Gromov boundary for any proper geodesic metric space, hence for any finitely generated group. More precisely, for any proper geodesic metric space XX and any sublinear function κ\kappa, we construct a boundary for XX, denoted κX\mathcal{\partial}_{\kappa} X, that is quasi-isometrically invariant and metrizable. As an application, we show that when GG is the mapping class group of a finite type surface, or a relatively hyperbolic group, then with minimal assumptions the Poisson boundary of GG can be realized on the κ\kappa-Morse boundary of GG equipped the word metric associated to any finite generating set.
