چکیده
We show the sum of the first k Lyapunov exponents of linear cocycles is an upper semicontinuous function in the L topologies, for any 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ and k. This fact, together with a result from Arnold and Cong, implies that the Lyapunov exponents of the L-generic cocycle, p < ∞, are all equal.

On the Simplicity of the Lyapunov Spectrum of Products of Random Matrices
Assuming that the underlying probability space is non-atomic we prove that products of random matrices (linear cocycles) with simple Lyapunov spectrum form an L p-dense set (1 p < 1) in the space of all cocy-cles satisfying the integrability conditions of the multiplicative ergodic theorem. However, the linear cocycles with one-point spectrum are also L p-dense. Further, in any L 1-neighborhood...
متن کاملOn Lyapunov Exponents of Continuous Schrödinger Cocycles over Irrational Rotations
In this note, we consider continuous, SL(2,R)-valued, Schrödinger cocycles over irrational rotations. We prove two generic results on the Lyapunov exponents which improve the corresponding ones contained in [3].
متن کاملCoherent structures and isolated spectrum for Perron–Frobenius cocycles
We present an analysis of one-dimensional models of dynamical systems that possess “coherent structures”; global structures that disperse more slowly than local trajectory separation. We study cocycles generated by expanding interval maps and the rates of decay for functions of bounded variation under the action of the associated Perron–Frobenius cocycles. We prove that when the generators are ...
متن کاملOn SL(2, R) valued smooth proximal cocycles and cocycles with positive Lyapunov exponents over irrational rotation flows
Consider the class of C-smooth SL(2,R) valued cocycles, based on the rotation flow on the two torus with irrational rotation number α. We show that in this class, (i) cocycles with positive Lyapunov exponents are dense and (ii) cocycles that are either uniformly hyperbolic or proximal are generic, if α satisfies the following Liouville type condition: ∣ α− pn qn ∣ ∣ ≤ Cexp(−q n ), where C > 0 a...
متن کاملCantor spectrum and Kotani eigenstates
In this note we consider Kotani eigenstates of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with ergodic potential. We show that if the spectrum, restricted to an interval, has zero Lyapunov exponents and is a Cantor set, then for a residual subset of energies, Kotani eigenstates do not exist. In particular, we show that the quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators whose Schrödinger quasi-periodic cocycle...
