contents We relate the topology of the Morse boundary of a group to geometric and algorithmic properties of the group. In particular, we show that a group has $σ$-compact Morse boundary if and only if it is Morse local-to-global. We also provide tools such as the geodesic Morse local-to-global property to show that groups are (not) Morse local-to-global. Our strategy generalizes tools from small cancellation theory, such as the intersection of relators, to arbitrary finitely generated groups. Further, we introduce a class of groups akin to graded small-cancellation groups and show that, for groups in this class, a geodesic is Morse if and only if its intersection with relators grows sublinearly in the length of the relators. We use this to construct the first example of a non-virtually cyclic Morse local-to-global group with an infinite-order Morse element that is not acylindrically hyperbolic.
