Limits of conjugacy classes under iterates of Hyperbolic elements of $\mathsf{Out(\mathbb{F})}$

Abstract: For a free group $\mathbb{F}$ of finite rank such that $\text{rank}(\mathbb{F})\geq 3$, we prove that the set of weak limits of a conjugacy class in $\mathbb{F}$ under iterates of some hyperbolic $\phi\in\mathsf{Out(\mathbb{F})}$ is equal to the collection of generic leaves and singular lines of $\phi$. As an application we describe the ending lamination set for a hyperbolic extension of $\mathbb{F}$ by a hyperbolic subgroup of $\mathsf{Out(\mathbb{F})}$ in a new way and use it to prove results about Cannon-Thurston maps for such extensions. We also use it to derive conditions for quasiconvexity of finitely generated, infinite index subgroups of $\mathbb{F}$ in the extension group. These results generalize similar results obtained by Mahan Mj, Kapovich-Lustig and use different techniques.
