Abstract: Let Gamma_0 be a discrete group. For a pair (j,rho) of representations of Gamma_0 into PO(n,1)=Isom(H^n) with j geometrically finite, we study the set of (j,rho)-equivariant Lipschitz maps from the real hyperbolic space H^n to itself that have minimal Lipschitz constant. Our main result is the existence of a geodesic lamination that is "maximally stretched" by all such maps when the minimal constant is at least 1. As an application, we generalize two-dimensional results and constructions of Thurston and extend his asymmetric metric on Teichm"uller space to a geometrically finite setting and to higher dimension. Another application is to actions of discrete subgroups Gamma of PO(n,1)xPO(n,1) on PO(n,1) by right and left multiplication: we give a double properness criterion for such actions, and prove that for a large class of groups Gamma the action remains properly discontinuous after any small deformation of Gamma inside PO(n,1)xPO(n,1).
