Take the parabolic element of PSL2(R)
It fixes no point in . A Geodesic in the Poincare half-plane model is determined by its unordered pair of ideal endpoints: either two real numbers or one real number together with . Translation adds one to every finite endpoint, so no such pair is invariant. Therefore this preserves neither a point nor a hyperbolic line in .
