Convergence is given by the celebrated Furstenberg-Kesten theorem (1960). Equivalence of the two definitions is given by the Oseledets multiplicative ergodic theorem (1968) λ is independent of choice of norm Rob Sturman (University of Leeds) Mixing for products of shears 15 March / 44

17 Periodic, deterministic, random Hard to compute analytically... Lyapunov exponents There is a paucity of exact results concerning Lyapunov exponents for random matrices, as famously lamented by Kingman (1973): Pride of place among the unsolved problems of subadditive ergodic theory must go to the calculation of [the Lyapunov exponent]... In none of the applications described here is there an obvious mechanism for obtaining an exact numerical value, and indeed this usually seems to be a problem of some depth. Rob Sturman (University of Leeds) Mixing for products of shears 15 March / 44

18 Periodic, deterministic, random Existing work... but easy computationally The submultiplicativity of matrix norms provides the most popular upper bound in the literature : E k = 2 k E {log M 2 k }, (for products drawn from 2 possible matrices) The E k decrease monotonically to λ (for any matrix norm) as k This is easy, if not efficient the number of matrix product calculations required increases exponentially with k Rob Sturman (University of Leeds) Mixing for products of shears 15 March / 44

Vanneste, Estimating generalized Lyapunov exponents for products of random matrices. Physical Review E 81.3 (2010) For large q, l(q) is controlled by exceedingly rare realisations of the matrix products, and hence it is difficult to estimate reliably using Monte Carlo numerical methods, even with importance sampling.

26 Bounding Lyapunov exponents Express the problem differently Group the matrices together W.l.o.g. assume that the first matrix in the product is F Group F s and G s together into J blocks e.g. (FFGGG)(FG)(FGG)(FFFFGG)(FGG)... so the random product is J M J = F a j G b j, a j + b j = n j, j=1 J n j = N, j=1 with 1 a i, b i < n i, so n i 2. Now the a i and b i are the i.i.d. random variables, with identical probability distribution P(x) = 2 x, x 1. Hence, the joint distribution P(a, b) = P(a) P(b) = 2 (a+b). We have the expected values Ea = Eb = 2, so En = 4 Rob Sturman (University of Leeds) Mixing for products of shears 15 March / 44

51 Conclusions Conclusions Alternating shears in (trivially) uniformly hyperbolic LTMs are more interesting non-zero Lyapunov exponents We can derive pretty accurate, explicit, upper and lower bounds for Lyapunov exponents for random products of shears of varying strength Generalised Lyapunov exponents can also be bounded (which are also hard to compute) Our results, unusually, include matrices with negative entries Rob Sturman (University of Leeds) Mixing for products of shears 15 March / 44

52 Conclusions Next?... Linked twist maps also produce a sequence FFGFFGFGGGFFGFGGGF... = J F a j G b j but now the a j, b j are no longer random we don t have a probability distribution. But a block (F a G b ) represents the return map to the hyperbolic overlap regions... and such a block still possess the invariant cone and bounds on the growth of the vector norm... and Kac s lemma states that given a set Q with measure µ(q), the expected return time is 1/µ(Q)... j=1 so this leads us back to the return time partition.
