Nous démontrons que l’ensemble limite d’une action isométrique et convexe co-compacte d’un groupe de surface sur un espace hyperbolique, équipé de sa métrique visuelle canonique, est un (faible) quasi-cercle au sens de Falconer et Marsh. Ceci implique que ces métriques visuelles sur ces ensembles limites sont classifiées, à équivalence bi-Lipschitz près, par leur dimension de Hausdorff. Nous donnons plusiers consequences, y compris l’existence de presque-isométries entre des paires de métriques périodiques sur ℍ 2 (malgré le faite qu’en général, il n’existe pas de presque-isométrie équivariante).

We show that the limit set of an isometric and convex cocompact action of a surface group on a proper geodesic hyperbolic metric space, when equipped with a visual metric, is a Falconer–Marsh (weak) quasicircle. As a consequence, the Hausdorff dimension of such a limit set determines its bi-Lipschitz class. We give applications, including the existence of almost-isometries between periodic negatively curved metrics on ℍ 2 that cannot be realized equivariantly.
