Checking atomicity of conformal ending measures for Kleinian groups

In this paper we address questions of continuity and atomicity of conformal ending measures for arbitrary non-elementary Kleinian groups. We give sufficient conditions under which such ending measures are purely atomic. Moreover, we will show that if a conformal ending measure has an atom which is contained in the big horospherical limit set, then this atom has to be a parabolic fixed point. Also, we give detailed discussions of non-trivial examples for purely atomic as well as for non-atomic conformal ending measures.
