Lyapunov exponent of random dynamical systems on the circle

Abstract: We consider products of a i.i.d. sequence in a set

f_{1}, l d o t s, f_{m}

of preserving orientation diffeomorphisms of the circle. we can naturally associate a Lyapunov exponent

l a m b d a

. Under few assumptions, it is known that

l a m b d a l e q 0

and that the equality holds if and only if

f_{1}, l d o t s, f_{m}

are simultaneously conjugated to rotations. In this paper, we state a quantitative version of this fact in the case where

f_{1}, l d o t s, f_{m}

are

C^{k}

perturbations of rotations with rotation numbers

h o (f_{1}), l d o t s, h o (f_{m})

satisfying a simultaneous diophantine condition in the sense of Moser: we give a precise estimate on

l a m b d a

(Taylor expansion) and we prove that there exists a diffeomorphism

g

and rotations

r_{i}

such that

m b o x d i s t (g f_{i} g^{- 1}, r_{i}) l l | l a m b d a |^{f r a c 12}

for

i = 1, l d o t s m

. We also state analog results for random products of matrices

2 i m e s 2

, without diophantine condition.
