Abstract

Suppose GG is a finitely generated group and HH is a subgroup of GG. Let cFQG\partial_{c}^{\mathcal{F}\mathcal{Q}}G denote the contracting boundary of GG with the topology of fellow travelling quasi-geodesics defined by Cashen-Mackay \cite{cashen2017}. In this article, we show that if the limit set Λ(H)\Lambda(H) of HH in cFQG\partial_{c}^{\mathcal{F}\mathcal{Q}}G is compact and contains at least three points then the action of the subgroup HH on the space of distinct triples Θ3(Λ(H))\Theta_{3}(\Lambda(H)) is properly discontinuous. By applying a result of B. Sun \cite{BinSun}, if the limit set Λ(H)\Lambda(H) is compact and the action of HH on cFQG\partial_{c}^{\mathcal{F}\mathcal{Q}}G is non-elementary then HH becomes an acylindrically hyperbolic group
