Conical limit sets of hyperbolic subgroups

Publication date: 15 January 2013

Abstract: Given a hyperbolic subgroup

H

of a hyperbolic group

G

for which a Cannon-Thurston map

h a t i : p a r t i a l H a p a r t i a l G

exists, we study the limit set

L a m b d a_{H}

of

H

with respect to its action on

p a r t i a l G

. We prove that the set of conical limit points is exactly the subset of

L a m b d a_{H}

consisting of the points to which the Cannon-Thurston map

h a t i

injects. Moreover, we show that when

H

is not quasi-convex in

G

, there exists a non-conical limit point in

L a m b d a_{H}
