Monochromatic nonuniform hyperbolicity

Dynamical Systems 2025-09-15 v3

Abstract

We construct examples of continuous GL(2,R)\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{R})-cocycles which are not uniformly hyperbolic despite having the same non-zero Lyapunov exponents with respect to all invariant measures. The base dynamics can be any non-trivial subshift of finite type. According to a theorem of DeWitt--Gogolev and Guysinsky, such cocycles cannot be H\"older-continuous. Our construction uses the nonuniformly hyperbolic cocycles discovered by Walters in 1984.
