Abstract: We study the circle homeomorphisms extensions over a strictly ergodic homeomorphism. Under a very mild restriction, we show that the fibered rotation number is locally constant on an open and dense subset. In the complement of this set, we found a dense subset in which every map is conjugate to a direct product. Our result provides a generalisation of Avila-Bochi-Damanik's result on mSL(2,mathbbR)−cocycles, and Jager-Wang-Zhou's result on quasi-periodically forced maps, to a broader setting.


A general class of circle extensions over a strictly ergodic homeomorphism are shown to exhibit mode-locking (local constancy of the fibered rotation number on an open and dense set of all circle homeomorphism extensions homotopic to the trivial extension). The results extend the work of \textit{A. Avila} et al. [Duke Math. J. 146, No. 2, 253--280 (2009; Zbl 1165.37012)] on \({\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{R})\)-cocycles and the work of \textit{J. Wang} et al. [Adv. Math. 348, 353--377 (2019; Zbl 1415.37057)] on quasi-periodically forced maps to a more general setting. The strategy is based on the study by \textit{A. Avila} et al. [J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 14, No. 1, 61--106 (2012; Zbl 1263.37007)] of spectral properties of Schrödinger operators.
