Abstract
We present an example of a discontinuity point for the Lyapunov exponents when viewed as a function of the cocycle in a topology finer than the -topology. The linear cocycle taking values in SL(2,R) is locally constant, defined over a Bernoulli shift, and lies on the boundary of the uniformly hyperbolic set. In particular, we show that it can be approximated, in the -topology, by cocycles whose Lyapunov exponents vanish.
