In this paper, we are concerned with \\emph{stably non-zero} exponents. We consider $SL(2,\\mathbb{R})$ cocycles over partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. Under a hypothesis on the behavior of the cocycles over a compact center leaf of the diffeomorphism, we prove that the cocycle is accumulated by open sets where the Lyapunov exponents are non-zero. Ussing this criteria we give a class of examples where the Lyapunov exponents are non-zero in an open and dense set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-29T23:50:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37H15", "37D30", "37D25" ], "keywords": [ "partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms", "stably positive lyapunov exponents", "linear cocycles", "non-zero lyapunov exponents", "compact center leaf" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160500044P" } } }
