Abstract: The observation that the 0-dimensional Geometric Invariant $Sigm{a}^0(G;A)$ of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz can be interpreted as a horospherical limit set opens a direct trail from Poincar'e's limit set $Lambda(Gamma)$ of a discrete group $Gamma$ of M"obius transformations (which contains the horospherical limit set of $Gamma$) to the roots of tropical geometry (closely related to $Sigm{a}^0(G;A)$ when G is abelian). We explore this trail by introducing the horospherical limit set, $Sigma(M;A)$, of a G-module A when G acts by isometries on a proper CAT(0) metric space M. This is a subset of the boundary at infinity of M. On the way we meet instances where $Sigma(M;A)$ is the set of all conical limit points, the complement of a spherical building, the complement of the radial projection of a tropical variety, or (via the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant) where it is closely related to the Thurston norm.
