Abstract

In this paper we establish a Bochi-Ma\~n\'e type dichotomy in the space of two dimensional, nonnegative determinant matrix valued, locally constant linear cocycles over a Bernoulli or Markov shift. Moreover, we prove that Lebesgue almost every such cocycle has finite first Lyapunov exponent, which then implies a break in the regularity of the Lyapunov exponent, from analyticity to discontinuity.
