Abstract: A subgroup H of a group G is commensurated in G if for each ginG, gHgβˆ’1capH has finite index in both H and gHgβˆ’1. If there is a sequence of subgroups H=Q0precQ1prec...precQkprecQk+1=G where Qi is commensurated in Qi+1 for all i, then Q0 is subcommensurated in G. In this paper we introduce the notion of the simple connectivity at infinity of a finitely generated group (in analogy with that for finitely presented groups). Our main result is: If a finitely generated group G contains an infinite, finitely generated, subcommensurated subgroup H, of infinite index in G, then G is 1-ended and semistable at infty. If additionally, H is finitely presented and 1-ended, then G is simply connected at infty. A normal subgroup of a group is commensurated, so this result is a strict generalization of a number of results, including the main theorems of G. Conner and M. Mihalik cite{CM}, B. Jackson cite{J}, V. M. Lew cite{L}, M. Mihalik cite{M1}and cite{M2}, and J. Profio cite{P}.
