Abstract

The main theorem shows that whenever certain amalgamated products act geometrically on a CAT(0) space, the space has non-locally connected boundary. One can now easily construct a wide variety of examples of one-ended CAT(0) groups with non-locally connected boundary. Applications of this theorem to right-angled Coxeter and Artin groups are considered. In particular, it is shown that the natural CAT(0) space on which a right-angled Artin group acts has locally connected boundary if and only if the group is ℤn for some n.
