There is a natural homomorphism from the fundamental group of the boundary of any non-positively curved geodesic space to its fundamental group at infinity. In this setting, the latter group coincides with the first shape group of the boundary. This talk will focus on certain Coxeter group boundaries and related spaces, where the abovementioned homomorphism turns out to be injective.
