Abstract: For a free group $mathbbF$ of finite rank such that $extrank(mathbbF)geq3$, we prove that the set of weak limits of a conjugacy class in $mathbbF$ under iterates of some hyperbolic $phiinmathsfOut(mathbbF)$ is equal to the collection of generic leaves and singular lines of $phi$. As an application we describe the ending lamination set for a hyperbolic extension of $mathbbF$ by a hyperbolic subgroup of $mathsfOut(mathbbF)$ in a new way and use it to prove results about Cannon-Thurston maps for such extensions. We also use it to derive conditions for quasiconvexity of finitely generated, infinite index subgroups of $mathbbF$ in the extension group. These results generalize similar results obtained by Mahan Mj, Kapovich-Lustig and use different techniques.
