Abstract
Sublinearly Morse boundaries of proper geodesic spaces are introduced by Qing, Rafi and Tiozzo. Expanding on this work, Qing and Rafi recently developed the quasi-redirecting boundary, denoted ∂G, to include all directions of metric spaces at infinity. Both boundaries are topological spaces that consist of equivalence classes of quasi-geodesic rays and are quasi-isometrically invariant. In this paper, we study these boundaries when the space is equipped with a geometric group action. In particular, we show that G acts minimally on ∂κG and that contracting elements of G induces a weak north-south dynamic on ∂κG. We also prove, when ∂G exists and |∂κG|≥3, G acts minimally on ∂G and ∂G is a second countable topological space. The last section concerns the restriction to proper CAT(0) spaces and finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes. We show that when G acts geometrically on a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex (whose QR boundary is assumed to exist), then a nontrivial QR boundary implies the existence of a Morse element in G. Lastly, we show that if X is a proper cocompact CAT(0) space, then ∂G is a visibility space.
