Dynamical properties of algebraic systems : a study in closed geodesics

To a great extent, rigidity theory is the study of boundaries of semisimple groups. Here we investigate the action of a lattice on such a boundary. While we can construct topological factors for real rank 1 groups we show the nonexistence of such factors in higher rank for some cases. We also study...
