Fixed points of elliptic isometries in Gromov boundary

116 Views Asked by At

Suppose $X$ is a proper, geodesic, $ \delta $-hyperbolic, metric space. Let $\partial X $ denote the Gromov boundary of $X$.

It is known that isometries of $X$ are exactly one of three kinds:

  1. Elliptic (or orbit of $ x \in X $ is bounded.
  2. Parabolic (has exactly one fixed point in the boundary)
  3. Loxodromic (has exactly two fixed points in the boundary)

My Questions:

Can an elliptic isometry fix a point in the boundary?

Can the stabilizer of a parabolic fixed point contain an elliptic element?

Can the stabilizer of a loxodromic fixed point have an elliptic element?
