Some ergodic properties of metrics on hyperbolic groups

Abstract: Let

G a m m a

be a non-elementary Gromov-hyperbolic group, and

p a r t i a l G a m m a

denote its Gromov boundary. We consider

G a m m a

-invariant proper

d e l t a

-hyperbolic, quasi-convex metric

d

on

G a m m a

, and the associated Patterson-Sullivan measure class

[u]

on

p a r t i a l^{(2)} G a m m a

, and its square

[u i m e s u]

on

p a r t i a l^{(2)} G a m m a

-- the space of distinct pairs of points on the boundary. We construct an analogue of a geodesic flow to study ergodicity properties of the

G a m m a

-actions on

(p a r t i a l G a m m a, u)

and on

(p a r t i a l^{(2)} G a m m a, [u i m e s u])

.
