Abstract

We study different notions of quasiconvexity for a subgroup HH of a relatively hyperbolic group G.G. The first result establishes equivalent conditions for HH to be relatively quasiconvex. As a corollary we obtain that the relative quasiconvexity is equivalent to the dynamical quasiconvexity. This answers to a question posed by D. Osin \cite{Os06}. In the second part of the paper we prove that a subgroup HH of a finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group GG acts cocompactly outside its limit set if and only if it is (absolutely) quasiconvex and every its infinite intersection with a parabolic subgroup of GG has finite index in the parabolic subgroup. Consequently we obtain a list of different subgroup properties and establish relations between them.
