abstract
We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of $G = \operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ must have a full limit set in the Furstenberg boundary of $G$. In the appendix, we show the the existence of Zariski-dense discrete subgroups $\Gamma$ of $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$, where $n\ge 3$, such that the Jordan projection of some loxodromic element $\gamma \in\Gamma$ lies on the boundary of the limit cone of $\Gamma$.

Ping-pong in the projective plane over a nonarchimedean field
Every lattice in SL_3(k) over a nonarchimedean local field k contains an undistorted subgroup isomorphic to Z^2 * Z, yielding new discrete subgroups not virtually isomorphic to lattices.
