Event description: 

A limit point in the Furstenberg boundary of G=SO+(d,1) is called horospherical with respect to a discrete subgroup Γ if every horoball based at the limit point intersects any Γ-orbit. Denote by Ω the non-wandering set in T1M=ΓT1Hd with respect to the geodesic flow. A classical theorem of Dal’bo states that a horosphere in T1M is dense in Ω if and only if that horosphere is based at a horospherical limit point.

In this talk I will present a higher-rank analogue of the above criterion for denseness of horospheres. Connection to the rank-one geometric proof will be emphasized. Joint with Hee Oh.
