Abstract: This survey is based on a series of lectures that we gave at MSRI in Spring 2015 and on a series of papers, mostly written jointly with Joan Porti. Our goal here is to: 1. Describe a class of discrete subgroups $Gamma<G$ of higher rank semisimple Lie groups, which exhibit some "rank 1 behavior". 2. Give different characterizations of the subclass of Anosov subgroups, which generalize convex-cocompact subgroups of rank 1 Lie groups, in terms of various equivalent dynamical and geometric properties (such as asymptotically embedded, RCA, Morse, URU). 3. Discuss the topological dynamics of discrete subgroups $Gamma$ on flag manifolds associated to $G$ and Finsler compactifications of associated symmetric spaces $X=G/K$. Find domains of proper discontinuity and use them to construct natural bordifications and compactifications of the locally symmetric spaces $X/Gamma$.
