In this paper we study the Lyapunov spectrum rigidity for random walks of expanding maps on unit circle $\mathbb{S}^1$ and Anosov diffeomorphisms on $d$-torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. Let $\nu$ be a probability supported on the set of expanding maps…

We observe the occurrence of a strange nonchaotic attractor in a periodically driven two-dimensional map, formerly proposed as a neuron model and a sequence generator. We characterize this attractor through the study of the Lyapunov…

We introduce the \emph{metric spectrum}, which measures the exponential rate of approximation to an isolated invariant set of points starting in its stable set, and relate it to the Lyapunov spectrum. We determine the metric spectrum of…

This paper is devoted to the study of Lyapunov type inequalities for periodic conservative systems. The main results are derived from a previous analysis which relates the best Lyapunov constants to some especial (constrained or…

Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex normed spaces are shown to satisfy a spectral calculus inequality that establishes their decay along Cesaro averages. Nonlinear spectral gaps of graphs are also shown to behave…

We study theoretically inelastic spectrum of coherent backscattering of laser light by two atoms. For an intense laser field, there are frequency domains of not only constructive but also destructive (self-)interference of the inelastic…

In the present paper we give a positive answer to some questions posed by Viana on the existence of positive Lyapunov exponents for Hamiltonian linear differential systems. We prove that there exists an open and dense set of Hamiltonian…

A general method to determine covariant Lyapunov vectors in both discrete- and continuous-time dynamical systems is introduced. This allows to address fundamental questions such as the degree of hyperbolicity, which can be quantified in…

Let (M,d) be a compact metric space and f:M --> M an expansive homeomorphism. We define Lyapunov exponents L(f,m)_{max} and l(f,mu)_{min} for an f-invariant measure m. When L(f,m)_{max} > 0 and l(f,mu)_{min} < 0 can be interpreted as a weak…

We introduce and analyze a notion of smooth Lyapunov 1-form for flows generated by vector fields on orbifolds. Using asymptotic cycles and chain-recurrent sets, we establish topological conditions that guarantee the existence of a Lyapunov…

We prove the entropic continuity of Lyapunov exponent for C^r maps of the interval or of the circle with large entropy for r>1, without making any assumptions on the set of critical points. A consequence is the upper semi-continuity of…

It is well-known that the cross covariogram of two convex bodies in n dimensions is 1/n-concave on its support. This paper provides conditions for strict 1/n-concavity in dimension n>1, and an analysis of how it can fail. Among the…

In this paper, we study the size of the level sets of all Lyapunov exponents. For typical cocycles, we establish a variational relation between the topological entropy of the level sets of Lyapunov exponents and the topological pressure of…

We provide Lyapunov-like characterizations of boundedness and convergence of non-trivial solutions for a class of systems with unstable invariant sets. Examples of systems to which the results may apply include interconnections of stable…

A particularly simple model belonging to a wide class of coupled maps which obey a local conservation law is studied. The phase structure of the system and the types of the phase transitions are determined. It is argued that the structure…

A long-standing question is what invariant sets can be shared by two maps acting on the same space. A similar question stands for invariant measures. A particular interesting case are expanding Markov maps of the circle. If the two involved…

In this paper we establish uniform large deviations estimates of exponential type and H\"older continuity of the Lyapunov exponents for random non-invertible cocycles with constant rank.

We prove differentiability of certain linear combinations of the Lyapunov spectra of a flow on a principal bundle of a semi-simple Lie group. The specific linear combinations that yield differentiability are determined by the finest Morse…

We consider a similar type of scenario for the disappearance of uniform of hyperbolicity as in Bjerkl\"ov and Saprykina (2008, Nonlinearity 21), where it was proved that the minimum distance between invariant stable and unstable bundles has…

In this paper we generalize [3] and prove that the class of accessible and saddle-conservative cocycles (a wide class which includes cocycles evolving in GL(d,R), SL(d,R) and Sp(d,R) Lp-densely have a simple spectrum. We also generalize [3,…
