Abstract

We prove that thick groups (and more generally thick graphs) have trivial Floyd boundary. This shows a wide class of finitely generated groups that are non-relatively hyperbolic have trivial Floyd boundary. In addition to giving new examples, our result provides a common proof and framework for many of the known results in the literature.
