Abstract

We study the action of a relatively hyperbolic group on its boundary by methods of symbolic dynamics. We show that this dynamical system is expansive, and, under a condition on parabolic subgroups (satisfied in most examples), that it is finitely presented, meaning that it can be factorized through a subshift of finite type.
