Abstract

In this paper, we establish statistical results for a convex co-compact action of a free group on a CAT((Formula presented.)) space where we restrict to a non-trivial conjugacy class in the group. In particular, we obtain a central limit theorem where the variance is twice the variance that appears when we do not make this restriction.
