Every nonempty closed boundary subset invariant under a non-elementary Kleinian group contains the Kleinian limit set. Such a subset cannot be a singleton. Its hyperbolic convex hull contains an interior point, whose orbit lies in the hull; in the Klein ball model the boundary of this hull is contained in the original closed boundary subset.
Let be nonempty, closed and -invariant. We first show it cannot be a singleton when is a non-elementary Kleinian group.
Suppose every element fixes one boundary point, conjugated to . Each boundary map then has the affine form . If all elements have , their action in upper half-space keeps the height of fixed. An orbit sequence escaping compact interior sets must have its horizontal coordinate tending to infinity along any convergent boundary subsequence, so its only possible boundary limit is . If some element has , move its second fixed point to , making it . For any , its conjugates are . Choose or so . If , these are distinct group elements converging to , contradicting discreteness. Thus for every group element: all fix both and , and their only possible interior-orbit boundary limits are these two points. In both cases the Kleinian limit set has at most two points. This contradicts non-elementarity. Therefore has at least two distinct points.
Use the Klein ball model, in which hyperbolic geodesics are straight chords, and take the closed Euclidean convex hull of in the closed ball. It contains an interior point , since the open chord between two distinct points of lies in the open ball. The interior part of this hull is hyperbolically convex and invariant under : isometries preserve geodesic segments, so they preserve the hyperbolic convex hull of the invariant set. Thus .
The only points of on the boundary sphere are the points of . Indeed, if , compactness of gives for every , because on the unit sphere only when . The same linear inequality holds throughout , excluding from it. Conversely , so .
Every boundary accumulation point of consequently lies in . Base-point independence from part (b) identifies that accumulation set with , proving minimality of the Kleinian limit set:
This proves the stated containment for every nonempty closed invariant set, not merely for sets containing an arbitrarily chosen orbit on the boundary.
