Then we consider sets $\\Sigma$ in $GL(d,\\mathbb{R})$ with the property that any cocycle with values in $\\Sigma$ has a dominated splitting. We characterize these sets in terms of existence of invariant multicones, thus extending a 2-dimensional result by Avila, Bochi, and Yoccoz. We give an example showing how these multicones can fail to have convexity properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-08-31T15:18:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "characterizations", "domination", "uniform exponential gap", "invariant multicones", "convexity properties" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0808.3811B" } } }
