Hausdorff dimension of directional limit sets for self-joinings of hyperbolic manifolds

Abstract: The classical result of Patterson and Sullivan says that for a non-elementary convex cocompact subgroup

G a m m a < e x t {S O}^{c} i r c (n, 1)

,

n g e 2

, the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of

G a m m a

is equal to the critical exponent of

G a m m a

. In this paper, we generalize this result for self-joinings of convex cocompact groups in two ways. Let

D e l t a

be a finitely generated group and

h o_{i} : D e l t a o e x t {S O}^{c} i r c (n_{i}, 1)

be a convex cocompact faithful representation of

D e l t a

for

1 l e i l e k

. Associated to

h o = (h o_{1}, c d o t s, h o_{k})

, we consider the following self-joining subgroup of

p r o d_{i = 1}^{k} e x t S O (n_{i}, 1)

:

Gamma=left(prod_{i=1}^k ho_i ight)(Delta)={( ho_1(g), cdots, ho_k(g)):gin Delta} .

(1). Denoting by

L a m b d a s u b s e t p r o d_{i = 1}^{k} m a t h b b S^{n_{i} - 1}

the limit set of

G a m m a

, we first prove that

ext{dim}_H Lambda=max_{1le ile k} delta_{ ho_i}

where

d e l t a_{h o_{i}}

is the critical exponent of the subgroup

h o_{i} (D e l t a)

. (2). Denoting by

L a m b d a_{u} s u b s e t L a m b d a

the

u

-directional limit set for each

u = (u_{1}, c d o t s, u_{k})

in the interior of the limit cone of

G a m m a

, we obtain that for

k l e 3

,

frac{psi_Gamma(u)}{max_i u_i }le ext{dim}_H Lambda_u le frac{psi_Gamma(u)}{min_i u_i }

where

p s i_{G} a m m a : m a t h b b R^{k} o m a t h b b R c u p - i n f t y

is the growth indicator function of

G a m m a

.
