Generalized conformal densities for higher products of rank one Hadamard spaces. (Q744925)

This paper introduces densities for higher products of rank one Hadamard spaces. Let us recall that every locally compact Hadamard space can be compactified. In this work, the author first recalls the relevant facts about Hadamard spaces and rank one isometries. Then, the so-called shadow lemma is proved and the exponent of growth is introduced. The author also recalls the classical Patterson-Sullivan construction and shows that the corresponding conformal density is supported in a unique invariant subset of the geometric limit set. Several interesting examples to which the results apply are developed.
