A general indicator of the presence of chaos in a dynamical system is the largest Lyapunov exponent. This quantity provides a measure of the mean exponential rate of divergence of nearby orbits. In this paper, we show that the so-called…

We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…
We prove a conditional theorem on the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for a Schr\"odinger cocycle over a skew shift base with a cosine potential and the golden ratio as frequency. For coupling below 1, which is the threshold for…
We show that linear analytic cocycles where all Lyapunov exponents are negative infinite are nilpotent. For such one-frequency cocycles we show that they can be analytically conjugated to an upper triangular cocycle or a Jordan normal form.…
We prove that for any holomorphic map, and any bounded orbit which does not accumulate to a singular set or to an attracting cycle, its lower Lyapunov exponent is non-negative. The same result holds for unbounded orbits, for maps with a…
We show how to extend (and with what limitations) Avila's global theory of analytic SL(2,C) cocycles to families of cocycles with singularities. This allows us to develop a strategy to determine the Lyapunov exponent for extended Harper's…
Linear skew-product semidynamical systems generated by random systems of delay differential equations are considered, both on a space of continuous functions as~well as on a space of $p$-summable functions. The main result states that in…

A powerful tool for studying long-term convergence of a Markov process to its stationary distribution is a Lyapunov function. In some sense, this is a substitute for eigenfunctions. For a stochastically ordered Markov process on the…
It is known that the Lyapunov exponent for multifrequency analytic cocycles is weak-H\"older continuous in cocycle for certain Diophantine frequencies, and that this implies certain regularity of the integrated density of states in energy…
