Abstract

We consider linear cocycles over non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems. The base system is a diffeomorphism ff of a compact manifold XX preserving a hyperbolic ergodic probability measure μ\mu. The cocycle AA over ff is Holder continuous and takes values in GL(d,R)GL(d,R) or, more generally, in the group of invertible bounded linear operators on a Banach space. For a GL(d,R)GL(d,R)-valued cocycle AA we prove that the Lyapunov exponents of AA with respect to μ\mu can be approximated by the Lyapunov exponents of AA with respect to measures on hyperbolic periodic orbits of ff. In the infinite-dimensional setting one can define the upper and lower Lyapunov exponents of AA with respect to μ\mu, but they cannot always be approximated by the exponents of AA on periodic orbits. We prove that they can be approximated in terms of the norms of the return values of AA on hyperbolic periodic orbits of ff.
