Abstract: We investigate the distribution of orbits of a non-elementary discrete hyperbolic group acting on the n-dimensional hyperbolic space and its geometric boundary. In particular, we show that if the group $Gamma$ admits a finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure (for instance, if it is geometrically finite), then every $Gamma$-orbit in the hyperbolic space is equidistributed with respect to the Patterson-Sullivan measure supported on the limit set of $Gamma$.The appendix by Maucourant is the extension of a part of his thesis where he obtains the same result as a simple application of Roblin's theorem. Our approach is via establishing the equidistribution of solvable flows on the unit tangent bundle of the quotient manifold, which is of independent interest.
