matrices, the Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem gives an Oseledets subspace decomposition of

m a t h b b R^{n}

; that is, above each point in the base space,

m a t h b b R^{n}

is written as a direct sum of equivariant subspaces, one for each Lyapunov exponent of the cocycle. It is natural to ask if these summands may be further decomposed into equivariant subspaces; that is, if the Oseledets subspaces are reducible. We prove a theorem yielding sufficient conditions for irreducibility of the trivial equivariant subspaces

m a t h b b R^{2}

and

m a t h b b C^{2}

for

O_{2} (m a t h b b R)

-valued cocycles and give explicit examples where the conditions are satisfied.
