Dear all, Next week, Friday June 12, Reza Mohammadpour (IMPAN-Warsaw) will give a talk at 5pm (Sydney time) via Zoom. Note the unusual time. Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/97881177562 Meeting ID: 978 8117 7562 Title: Lyapunov spectrum properties Abstract: In this talk we discuss ergodic optimization and multifractal behaviour of Lyapunov exponents for matrix cocycles. We show that the restricted variational principle holds for generic cocycles over mixing subshifts of finite type, and the Lyapunov spectrum is equal to the closure of the set where the entropy spectrum is positive for such cocycles. Moreover, we show both the continuity of the entropy spectrum at the boundary of Lyapunov spectrum for such cocycles, and the continuity of the lower joint spectral radius for linear cocycles under the assumption that linear cocycles satisfy a cone condition. We consider a subadditive potential $\Phi$. We obtain that for $t\rightarrow \infty$ any accumulation point of a family of equilibrium states of $t\Phi$ is a maximizing measure, and that the Lyapunov exponent and entropy of equilibrium states for $t\Phi$ converge in the limit $t\rightarrow \infty$ to the maximum Lyapunov exponent and entropy of maximizing measures.
