Groups that (do not) act isometrically on hyperbolic spaces

Group Theory 2025-08-19 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we show that if a group acts isometrically on a good hyperbolic space of finite volume entropy through a non-elementary action, then it admits an affine action on some LpL^p -space with an unbounded orbit for sufficiently large pp. As an application, we prove that any isometric action of a group with the fixed point property FF_\infty on a good hyperbolic space must have a bounded orbit.
