A perturbative formula for the lowest Lyapunov exponent of an Anderson model on a strip is presented. It is expressed in terms of an energy dependent doubly stochastic matrix, the size of which is proportional to the strip width. This…
The paper provides a new integral formula for the largest Lyapunov exponent of Gaussian matrices, which is valid in the real, complex and quaternion-valued cases. This formula is applied to derive asymptotic expressions for the largest…
We study the one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator with the skew-shift potential $2\lambda\cos\left(2\pi \left(\binom{j}{2} \omega+jy+x\right)\right)$. This potential is long conjectured to behave like a random one, i.e., it is…
We consider locally minimizing measures for the conservative twist maps of the $d$-dimensional annulus or for the Tonelli Hamiltonian flows defined on a cotangent bundle $T^*M$. For weakly hyperbolic such measures (i.e. measures with no…
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 exhibit examples of almost periodic Verblunsky coefficients for which Herman's subharmonicity argument applies and yields that the associated Lyapunov exponents are uniformly bounded away from zero.
We discuss the growth of the singular values of symplectic transfer matrices associated with ergodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension, with scalar and matrix-valued potentials. While for an individual value of the spectral…
We study the singular values and Lyapunov exponents of non-stationary random matrix products subject to small, absolutely continuous, additive noise. Consider a fixed sequence of matrices of bounded norm. Independently perturb the matrices…
We show an upper bound for the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents of any Teichm\"uller curve in strata of quadratic differentials with at least one zero of large multiplicity. As a corollary, it holds for any $SL(2,\mathbb R)$-invariant…
In this short note, we describe some recent results on the pointwise existence of the Lyapunov exponent for certain quasi-periodic cocyles.
A distinct feature of Hermitian quantum chaotic dynamics is the exponential increase of certain out-of-time-order-correlation (OTOC) functions around the Ehrenfest time with a rate given by a Lyapunov exponent. Physically, the OTOCs…
The Ising spin chain with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields is often used in studies of quantum chaos, displaying both chaotic and integrable regions in its parameter space. However, even at a strongly chaotic point this model…
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 show that for a class of $C^2$ quasiperiodic potentials and for any Diophantine frequency, the Lyapunov exponents of the corresponding Schr\"odinger cocycles are uniformly positive and weak H\"older continuous as function of energies. As…
In 2019 Anthony Quas, Philippe Thieullen and Mohamed Zarrabi introduced the concept of strong fast invertibility for linear cocycles. It relates the growth of volumes between different initial times and, together with a condition on…
Lyapunov exponents measure the average exponential growth rate of typical linear perturbations in a chaotic system, and the inverse of the largest exponent is a measure of the time horizon over which the evolution of the system can be…
We consider a mechanism for area preserving Hamiltonian systems which leads to the enhanced probability, $P(\lambda, t)$, to find small values of the finite time Lyapunov exponent, $\lambda$. In our investigation of chaotic dynamical…
This paper is concerned with the study of linear cocycles over uniformly ergodic Markov shifts on a compact space of symbols. We establish the joint H\"older continuity of the maximal Lyapunov exponent as a function of the cocycle and the…
The Lyapunov exponents of GL(2)-cocycles over Markov shifts depend continuously on the underlying data, that is, on the matrix coefficients and the Markov measure transition probabilities.
