Aug 13, 2013 at 16:58 comment added Misha Actually, Noel Brady proved that every finite subgroup of $G$ has an orbit of radius $\le 2\delta+1$ ("A note on finite subgroups of hyperbolic groups"). From this, one gets an estimate on $R$.
Aug 13, 2013 at 16:41 comment added Misha @LeeMosher: Lee: I am not sure how to get $r$ to be $\delta$. If $F$ has a fixed point in $C$ then one can take $r=2\delta$. In general, we only can say that $F$ has an orbit of diameter $\le R$ in $C$ and one can take $r=R+2\delta$. One can then estimate $R$ using $\delta$, but I do not feel like doing this. I corrected another typo in the definition of $r$ though. As for Lemma, it feels like the result should be in the literature, but I could not find it in the "standard" sources (I checked 7).

minor corrections
Aug 13, 2013 at 13:45 comment added Lee Mosher Misha: I've fixed some typos. Also, shouldn't the right hand side of the inequality $\max_{g\in F_i} |g|\le r$ just be some multiple of $\delta$, the hyperbolicity constant?

Aug 9, 2013 at 22:44 comment added Misha @user68316: I do not have a reference (although I am sure it is written somewhere), I will write a proof when I have time.
Aug 9, 2013 at 18:31 comment added user68316 Thanks. Could you please give a reference for the existence of the quasiconvex subgroup $H$?
