The Lyapunov exponent characterizes the asymptotic behavior of long matrix products. Recognizing scenarios where the Lyapunov exponent is strictly positive is a fundamental challenge that is relevant in many applications. In this work we…

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 article we prove an upper bound for the Lyapunov exponent $\gamma(E)$ and a two-sided bound for the integrated density of states $N(E)$ at an arbitrary energy $E>0$ of random Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension. These…

We prove a family of dispersive estimates for the higher order Schr\"odinger equation $iu_t=(-\Delta)^mu +Vu$ for $m\in \mathbb N$ with $m>1$ and $2m<n<4m$. Here $V$ is a real-valued potential belonging to the closure of $C_0$ functions…

We prove that if $\mu$ is a finitely supported measure on $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ with positive Lyapunov exponent but not uniformly hyperbolic, then the Lyapunov exponent function is not $\alpha$-H\"older around $\mu$ for any $\alpha$…

We study discontinuity of the Lyapunov exponent. We construct a limit-periodic Schr\"odinger operator, of which the Lyapunov exponent has a positive measure set of discontinuities. We also show that the limit-periodic potentials, whose…

In this paper we prove $L^p$-estimates for H\"ormander classes of pseudo-differential operators on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$. The results are presented in the context of the global symbolic calculus of Ruzhansky and Turunen on…

We consider the random Schrodinger operator on a strip of width $W$, assuming the site distribution of bounded density. It is shown that the positive Lyapounov exponents satisfy a lower bound roughly exponential in $-W$ or $W\to \infty$.…

We provide an explicit lower bound for the the sum of the non-negative Lyapunov exponents for some cocycles related to the Anderson model. In particular, for the Anderson model on a strip of width $ W $ the lower bound is proportional to $…

We consider general bilinear products defined by positive semidefinite matrices. Typically non-commutative, non-associative, and non-unital, these products preserve positivity and include the classical Hadamard, Kronecker, and convolutional…

We give lower and upper bounds on both the Lyapunov exponent and generalised Lyapunov exponents for the random product of positive and negative shear matrices. These types of random products arise in applications such as fluid stirring…

Lyapunov exponents describe the asymptotic behavior of the singular values of large products of random matrices. A direct computation of these exponents is however often infeasible. By establishing a link between Lyapunov exponents and an…
