We prove that ideal boundary of a 7-systolic group is strongly hereditarily aspherical. For some class of 7-systolic groups we show their boundaries are connected and without local cut points, thus getting some results concerning splittings of those groups.
By studying connectedness at infinity of systolic groups we distinguish them from some other classes of groups, in particular from the fundamental groups of manifolds covered by euclidean space of dimension at least three. We also study semistability at infinity for some systolic groups.
We prove that the boundary of a right-angled hyperbolic building is a universal Menger space. Corollary: the 3-dimensional universal Menger space is the boundary of some Gromov-hyperbolic group.
