Both leading Lyapunov exponents of this model are proved to be positive and distinct for all ernergies in $(2,+\\infty)$ except those in a discrete set, which leads to absence of absolutely continuous spectrum in $(2,+\\infty)$. This result is an improvement of a previous result with Stolz. The methods, based upon a result by Breuillard and Gelander on dense subgroups in semisimple Lie groups, and a criterion by Goldsheid and Margulis, allow for singular Bernoulli distributions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-03-20T16:00:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuous matrix-valued anderson model", "lyapunov exponents", "positivity", "semisimple lie groups", "singular bernoulli distributions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
