Abstract: We consider a similar type of scenario for the disappearance of uniform of hyperbolicity as in Bjerkl"ov and Saprykina (2008, Nonlinearity 21), where it was proved that the minimum distance between invariant stable and unstable bundles has a linear power law dependence on parameters. In this scenario we prove that the Lyapunov exponent is sharp $frac12$-H"older continuous. In particular, we show that the Lyapunov exponent of Schr"odinger cocycles with a potential having a unique non-degenerate minimum, is sharp $frac12$-H"older continuous below the lowest energy of the spectrum, in the large coupling regime.

Review text

The authors consider one-parameter quasi-periodic cocycles which arise from the study of the spectrum of discrete Schrödinger operators \(H_{\theta}:l^2(\mathbf{Z)}\to l^2(\mathbf{Z})\) of the form \[ (H_{\theta}x)_n=x_{n+1}+V(\theta+n\omega)x_n+x_{n-1}, \] where the function \(V\in C^2(\mathbf{T},\mathbf{R})\) has a nondegenerate unique global minimum. They show that the Lyapunov exponent of the family of cocycles is \((1/2)\)-Hölder but not \((1/2+\delta)\)-Hölder continuous on the whole interval of parameters for which the cocycle is not uniformly hyperbolic.
