Distribution of orbits of geometrically finite groups acting on null vectors

Abstract

We study the distribution of non-discrete orbits of geometrically finite groups in $\mathrm{SO}(n,1)$ acting on ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, and more generally on the quotient of $\mathrm{SO}(n,1)$ by a horospherical subgroup. Using equidistribution of horospherical flows, we obtain both asymptotics for the distribution of orbits for the action of general geometrically finite groups, and we obtain quantitative statements with additional assumptions.
