摘要
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. We will show that this homomorphism is an isomorphism in case the boundary admits a universal covering space, and that it is injective in case the boundary is one-dimensional.
