Jul 25, 2019 at 15:08 comment added Adam @Jairo Bochi. Thanks. I'll check it out.
Jul 25, 2019 at 10:33 comment added Jairo Bochi Here is a sketch on how to show that if the matrices are entrywise positive then there is a continuous invariant 1-dimensional subbundle (without appealing to general facts about domination): Consider any continuous field of lines $L(x)$ contained in the positive orthant, where $x$ is in the circle. Now let $L'_x$ be the new field of lines obtained by applying the dynamics (a la graph transform): $L'(x) := g(T^{-1}x) L(T^{-1} x)$. The transform $L \mapsto L'$ is a contraction with respect to the Hilbert projective metric. So it has a fixed point, which is the desired subbundle.
Jul 25, 2019 at 10:18 comment added Jairo Bochi @RR Unfortunately there exists no comprehensive reference on dominated splittings. The ICTP lecture notes by Crovisier and Potrie is a good start. There are two caveats about it: (1) it's written for the derivative cocycle of a diffeomorphism (and not general linear cocycles); (2) the cones in the cone criterion are "ice-cream cones" (and so we can't apply it directly to the positive orthant in order to say something about positive matrices). Nevertheless the arguments extend to the more general situations.
Jul 24, 2019 at 23:20 comment added Adam @Jairo Bochi. Could you please introduce a reference for it?
Jul 21, 2019 at 22:18 comment added Jairo Bochi @r-r If the matrices are entrywise positive then the bundle $V_1$ is one-dimensional and dominating (in particular continuous).
Jul 19, 2019 at 15:19 comment added Adam @AlekseiKulikov You can use topological presuree that is analytic.
Jul 19, 2019 at 13:30 comment added Aleksei Kulikov @JairoBochi even worse, my coefficients are in general complex (though we of course can reduce $GL(n, \mathbb{C})$ to $GL(2n, \mathbb{R})$, but then we will definitely have negative coefficients).
Jul 19, 2019 at 13:09 comment added Adam @AlekseiKulikov I know some papers by Backes who proved continuity of the subbundle for periodic point. It might help you.
Jul 19, 2019 at 13:04 comment added Adam @JairoBochi : I have a question about your last comment. What you wanna get by positive entries? Hyperbolicity? As far as i know matrices have positive entries implies hyperbolicity in 2D. It does not work for higher dimention( Do you know contour example?).
Jul 18, 2019 at 21:05 comment added Jairo Bochi Hmm, your situation seems complicated. Do your matrices have positive entries? This could help a lot.
Jul 18, 2019 at 19:46 comment added Aleksei Kulikov @JairoBochi part about lack of continuity looks even more disappointing. But actually in my problem setup is a bit different then what I wrote in my post: my function $g$ is analytic on $[0, 1]$ but $g(0)$ and $g(1)$ may be not equal. May be something like what I want can be proved in analytic category or even in my setting with potential discontinuity? There are some things about analyticity in the papers which Dan and R R suggested but I'm still reading through them.
Jul 18, 2019 at 19:41 comment added Aleksei Kulikov @JairoBochi papers of Morris and Furman looks interesting, thanks but I unfortunately has no idea how to prove continuity of the subbundle since I do not know how to calculate anything about it.
Jul 18, 2019 at 19:18 comment added Jairo Bochi Part (1) is extremely delicate: you may check this paper by Wang and You to have an idea of the difficulties that are involved...
Jul 18, 2019 at 19:10 comment added Jairo Bochi Property (2) is true for $\ell=1$, as a consequence of Theorem 1 of this old paper by Furman, or as a consequence of the more general Theorem A.3 of this paper by Morris. More generally, property (2) holds for any value of $\ell$ such that $V_\ell$ is a continuous subbundle (e.g. the dominated subbundle of a dominated splitting): just restrict the cocycle to this subbundle and use Morris' theorem.
Jul 18, 2019 at 14:51 comment added Aleksei Kulikov @RR thanks, I'll take a look into this!
Jul 17, 2019 at 13:44 comment added Adam Check this paper. You need domination for your questions. This kind of cocycle is called "quasi periodic cocycle". As @DanRust mentioned, Duarte and Klein's book explain it.
Jul 17, 2019 at 9:58 comment added Anthony Quas Interesting question. A couple of comments: (1) the MET. actually gives you something stronger than you state- $\mathbb R^n$ may be expressed as a direct sum of subspaces with expansion rates $\lambda_1$,...,$\lambda_k$. (2) I guess you want none of the $\lambda_i$ to be 0? (although of course you can multiply the generator by a constant, adding a constant to the $\lambda_i$’s.).
Jul 16, 2019 at 21:42 comment added Dan Rust Have you tried checking out Chapter 6 of Duarte and Klein's book? It deals with Cocycles whose base dynamics are irrational rotations satisfying diophantine approximation, so you should be able to find a partial answer there (sorry, I don't know the book myself, a colleague recommended it after I showed him your question).
