48 results for Lyapunov Exponents

We study the asymptotic behavior of the Lyapunov exponent in a meromorphic family of random products of matrices in SL(2, C), as the parameter converges to a pole. We show that the blow-up of the Lyapunov exponent is governed by a quantity which can be interpreted as the non-Archimedean Lyapunov exponent of the family.…

Consider a family of K3 surfaces over a hyperbolic curve (i.e. Riemann surface). Their second cohomology groups form a local system, and we show that its top Lyapunov exponent is a rational number.

We study the behaviour of a Hilbert geometry when going to infinity along a geodesic line.
