Products of random matrix products of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, corresponding to transfer matrices for the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with a random potential $V$, are studied. I consider both the case where the potential has…
We study products of arbitrary random real $2 \times 2$ matrices that are close to the identity matrix. Using the Iwasawa decomposition of $\text{SL}(2,{\mathbb R})$, we identify a continuum regime where the mean values and the covariances…
We consider a finite family of invertible $2 \times 2$ real matrices and a transitive Markov shift on the index set. Let $\lambda$ be the top Lyapunov exponent for random matrix products driven by the Markov shift. We prove that, if the…
I present a general framework allowing to carry out explicit calculation of the moment generating function of random matrix products $\Pi_n=M_nM_{n-1}\cdots M_1$, where $M_i$'s are i.i.d.. Following Tutubalin [Theor. Probab. Appl. {\bf 10},…
We analyze the top Lyapunov exponent of the product of sequences of two by two matrices that appears in the analysis of several statistical mechanics models with disorder: for example these matrices are the transfer matrices for the nearest…
We analyse products of random $R\times R$ matrices by means of a variant of the replica trick which was recently introduced for one-dimensional disordered Ising models. The replicated transfer matrix can be block-diagonalized with help of…
We consider a certain infinite product of random $2 \times 2$ matrices appearing in the solution of some $1$ and $1+1$ dimensional disordered models in statistical mechanics, which depends on a parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and on a real random…
Products of random $2\times 2$ matrices exhibit Gaussian fluctuations around almost surely convergent Lyapunov exponents. In this paper, the distribution of the random matrices is supported by a small neighborhood of order $\lambda>0$ of…
We study the top Lyapunov exponent of a product of random $2 \times 2$ matrices appearing in the analysis of several statistical mechanical models with disorder, extending a previous treatment of the critical case (Giacomin and Greenblatt,…
We construct explicit invariant measures for a family of infinite products of random, independent, identically-distributed elements of SL(2,C). The matrices in the product are such that one entry is gamma-distributed along a ray in the…
We consider the continuum limit of some products of random matrices in $\text{SL}(d,{\mathbb R})$ that arise as discretisations of incompressible renewing flows -- that is, of flows corresponding to a divergence-free velocity field that…
Starting from exact analytical results on singular values and complex eigenvalues of products of independent Gaussian complex random $N\times N$ matrices also called Ginibre ensemble we rederive the Lyapunov exponents for an infinite…
The theory of products of random matrices and Lyapunov exponents have been widely studied and applied in the fields of biology, dynamical systems, economics, engineering and statistical physics. We consider the product of an i.i.d. sequence…
In this work, we give a rigorous explicit formula for the Lyapunov exponent for some binary infinite products of random $2\times 2$ real matrices. All these products are constructed using only two types of matrices, $A$ and $B$, which are…
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…
We consider generalized linear stochastic dynamical systems with second-order state transition matrices. The entries of the matrix are assumed to be either independent and exponentially distributed or equal to zero. We give an overview of…
We establish large deviation type estimates for i.i.d. products of two dimensional random matrices with finitely supported probability distribution. The estimates are stable under perturbations and require no irreducibility assumptions. In…
We explicitly compute the maximal Lyapunov exponent for a switched system on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$. This computation is reduced to the characterization of optimal trajectories for an optimal control problem on the Lie group.
A random matrix with rows distributed as a function of their length is said to be isotropic. When these distributions are Gaussian, beta type I, or beta type II, previous work has, from the viewpoint of integral geometry, obtained the…
The Lyapunov exponent corresponding to a set of square matrices $\mathcal{A} = \{A_1, \dots, A_n \}$ and a probability distribution $p$ over $\{1, \dots, n\}$ is $\lambda(\mathcal{A},p) := \lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{1}{k} \,\mathbb{E} \log…
