Abstract

We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of G=SL(3,R)G = \operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{R}) must have a full limit set in the Furstenberg boundary of GG. In the appendix, we show the the existence of Zariski-dense discrete subgroups Γ\Gamma of SL(n,R)\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb{R}), where n3n\ge 3, such that the Jordan projection of some loxodromic element γΓ\gamma \in\Gamma lies on the boundary of the limit cone of Γ\Gamma.
