| contents | Given a complex of groups $G(\mathcal{Y}) = (G_σ, ψ_a, g_{a,b})$ where all $G_σ$ are relatively hyperbolic, the $ψ_a$ are inclusions of full relatively quasiconvex subgroups, and the universal cover $X$ is CAT$(0)$ and $δ$--hyperbolic, we show $π_1(G(\mathcal{Y}))$ is relatively hyperbolic. The proof extends the work of Dahmani and Martin by constructing a model for the Bowditch boundary of $π_1(G(\mathcal{Y}))$. We prove the model is a compact metrizable space on which $G$ acts as a geometrically finite convergence group, and a theorem of Yaman then implies the result. More generally, this model shows how any suitable action of a relatively hyperbolic group on a simply connected cell complex encodes a decomposition of the Bowditch boundary into the boundary of the cell complex and the boundaries of cell stabilizers. We hope this decomposition will be helpful in answering topological questions about Bowditch boundaries. |
