  In this paper, we investigate the fixed-point set of an element of a CAT(0)
group in its boundary. Suppose that a group $G$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0)
space $X$. Let $g\in G$ and let $\mathcal{F}_g$ be the fixed-point set of $g$
in the boundary $\partial X$. Then we show that $\mathcal{F}_g=L(Z_g)$, where
$Z_g$ is the centralizer of $g$ (i.e. $Z_g=\{v\in G| gv=vg\}$) and $L(Z_g)$ is
the limit set of $Z_g$ in $\partial X$. Thus we obtain that $\mathcal{F}_g\neq
\emptyset$ if and only if the set $Z_g$ is infinite. We also show that if $g$
is a hyperbolic isometry, then $\mathcal{F}_g=\partial\Min(g)$, where
$\partial\Min(g)$ is the boundary of the minimal set $\Min(g)$ of $g$. This
implies that the fixed-point set $\mathcal{F}_g$ and the periodic-point set
$\mathcal{P}_g$ of $g$ in $\partial X$ have suspension forms.
