Domains of proper discontinuity on the boundary of outer space. (Q716391)

The authors construct domains of discontinuity in the compactified Outer space and in the projectivized space of geodesic currents for any ``dynamically large'' subgroup of \(\mathrm{Out}(F_N)\). The work is motivated by the work of \textit{J. McCarthy} and \textit{A. Papadopoulos} [Comment. Math. Helv. 64, No. 1, 133-166 (1989; Zbl 0681.57002)]. As a corollary, the authors prove that for any \(N>3\), the action of \(\mathrm{Out}(F_N)\) on the subset of the projectivized space of geodesic currents consisting of all projectivized currents with full support is properly discontinuous.
