Consider the surface group $\Gamma=\langle a,b,c,d\mid [a,b][c,d]=1\rangle$: it is a Gromov hyperbolic group; its Gromov boundary $\partial\Gamma$ is homeomorphic to $S^1$ (the unit circle). I would like to define a famlily of subsets of $\partial\Gamma$ as follows: fix $x,y\in\Gamma$. Then $$ U(x,y):=\left\{\xi\in\partial\Gamma\mid\text{ there exixts a geodesic }g\text{ in }\Gamma\text{ starting from }x,\text{ passing through }y\text{ and s.t. }g(\infty)=\xi\right\}. $$

1. Does this definition make sense? Is $U(x,y)$ trivial?
2. Is $U(x,y)$ open?
3. Is $U(x,y)$ connected?
