Abstract

We consider products of a i.i.d. sequence in a set {f1,,fm}\{f_1,\ldots,f_m\} of preserving orientation diffeomorphisms of the circle. we can naturally associate a Lyapunov exponent λ\lambda. Under few assumptions, it is known that λ0\lambda\leq 0 and that the equality holds if and only if f1,,fmf_1,\ldots,f_m are simultaneously conjugated to rotations. In this paper, we state a quantitative version of this fact in the case where f1,,fmf_1,\ldots,f_m are CkC^k perturbations of rotations with rotation numbers ρ(f1),,ρ(fm)\rho(f_1),\ldots,\rho(f_m) satisfying a simultaneous diophantine condition in the sense of Moser: we give a precise estimate on λ\lambda (Taylor expansion) and we prove that there exists a diffeomorphism gg and rotations rir_i such that \mboxdist(gfig1,ri)λ12\mbox{dist}(gf_ig^{-1},r_i)\ll |\lambda|^{\frac{1}{2}} for i=1,mi=1,\ldots m. We also state analog results for random products of matrices 2×22\times 2, without diophantine condition.
