Abstract
We exhibit an example of discontinuity point for the Lyapunov exponents as a function of the cocycle in the -H\"older topology. The linear cocycle taking values in is locally constant and defined over a Bernoulli shift. Our example extends Bocker-Viana's and Butler's results. In particular, it gives a partial answer to a question raised by Clark Butler. Finally, we give an example of discontinuity in the setting of -valued cocycles, which is constructed from -valued cocycles.
