Abstract: Let Gamma be a lattice in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group G. Given an infinite measure preserving action T of Gamma and a "direction" in G (i.e. an element heta of the projective space P(gothg) of the Lie algebra gothg of G), some notions of recurrence and rigidity for T along heta are introduced. It is shown that the set of recurrent directions CalR(T) and the set of rigid directions for T are both Gdelta. In the case where G=BbbRd and Gamma=BbbZd, we prove that (a) for each Gdelta-subset Delta of P(gothg) and a countable subset DsubsetDelta, there is a rank-one action T such that DsubsetCalR(T)subsetDelta and (b) CalR(T)=P(gothg) for a generic infinite measure preserving action T of Gamma. This answers partly a question from a recent paper by A.~Johnson and A.~{c S}ahin. Some applications to the directional entropy of Poisson actions are discussed. In the case where G is the Heisenberg group H3(BbbR) and Gamma=H3(BbbZ), a rank-one Gamma-action T is constructed for which CalR(T) is not invariant under the natural "adjoint" G-action.
