Abstract
We use dynamical approach to study parabolic fixed points of Kleinian groups Γ ⊂ Iso(ℍn). Let ℋ be the horospherical foliation on the unit tangent bundle SM of manifold M = Γ\ℍn with constant negative curvature. We construct examples Γ ⊂ Iso(ℍ4) which show that horosphere based at parabolic fixed point w ∈ ∂ℍ4 can project to leaf ℋx ⊂ SM of complicated structure: it can be locally closed and not closed; not locally closed and non-dense in the non-wandering set Ω+ ⊂ SM of ℋ; dense in Ω+ (this is equivalent to w being a horospherical limit point). Using the natural duality, one gets the corresponding examples of Γ-orbits on the light cone. We give an elementary proof of the fact that conical limit point w ∈ ∂ℍn cannot be a parabolic fixed point.

Bieberbach-Auslander Theorem and Dynamics in Symmetric Spaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the dynamics of a discrete isom- etry group action in a noncompact symmetric space of rank one nearby its parabolic fixed points, and showed that such an action on corresponding horospheres is virtually nilpotent.
