Lower bounds for non-Archimedean Lyapunov exponents

Abstract: Let

K

be a complete, algebraically closed, non-Archimedean valued field, and let

e x t b f P^{1}

denote the Berkovich projective line over

K

. The Lyapunov exponent for a rational map

p h i i n K (z)

of degree

d g e q 2

measures the exponential rate of growth along a typical orbit of

p h i

. When

p h i

is defined over

m a t h b b C

, the Lyapunov exponent is bounded below by

f r a c 12 l o g d

. In this article, we give a lower bound for

L (p h i)

for maps

p h i

defined over non-Archimedean fields

K

. The bound depends only on the degree

d

and the Lipschitz constant of

p h i

. For maps

p h i

whose Julia sets satisfy a certain boundedness condition, we are able to remove the dependence on the Lipschitz constant.
