Equivariance of the continuous-flow Oseledets filtration at every real time #
The discrete Oseledets multiplicative ergodic theorem produces, for the time-1 generator
A 1 over the time-1 dynamics φ 1, a filtration V that is equivariant under the cocycle
one integer step at a time. This file upgrades that to equivariance under the flow at every
real time t₀ : ℝ: almost everywhere,
Submodule.map (toEuclideanCLM (A t₀ x)) (V i x) = V i (φ t₀ x).
The route is purely analytic and follows the canonical growth characterization
Oseledets.IsOseledetsFiltration.ae_mem_iff_limsup_le: a vector lies in the level V i iff it
is zero or its discrete-time Lyapunov growth rate is ≤ lam i. The fixed-time matrix A t₀ x
is a bounded (operator-norm-comparable to a constant in n) bijection, so applying it to a
vector changes the discrete-time limsup growth rate by o(1), hence not at all. Membership in
the growth sublevel set is therefore preserved, which is exactly equivariance.

S0: local positivity of the image norm #
Local positivity. For an invertible matrix M and a nonzero vector v, the image
toEuclideanCLM M v is nonzero, hence has positive norm. The continuous linear map
toEuclideanCLM M has the two-sided inverse toEuclideanCLM M⁻¹, so it is injective.
S1: the fixed-time log-norm is sublinear, almost everywhere #
The core difficulty is integrability of a dominator for |log ‖A t₀ y‖|. We build, for every
real time, an integrable function dominating both log⁺ ‖A t₀ y‖ and log⁺ ‖(A t₀ y)⁻¹‖; the
two-sided log-norm bound abs_log_norm_le then turns this into an integrable dominator for the
absolute log-norm, and the orbital tail estimate finishes the squeeze.
S1: the fixed-time log-norm is sublinear, almost everywhere. For any real time t₀,
almost every x satisfies that both n⁻¹ · log ‖A t₀ (φ (n:ℝ) x)‖ and
n⁻¹ · log ‖(A t₀ (φ (n:ℝ) x))⁻¹‖ tend to 0.
We dominate both absolute log-norms by an integrable function G (built from the two-sided
log-norm bound and the integrable dominator exists_integrable_dom), apply the orbital tail
estimate to G along the integer orbit of φ 1, and squeeze.
S2: the discrete growth limsup is shift-invariant under A t₀ x #
The discrete-time growth rate n⁻¹ · log ‖cocycle … n x · u‖ is unchanged when the test vector
is pushed through the fixed bijection toEuclideanCLM (A t₀ x). We first establish a.e.
two-sided boundedness of this growth average (via the Furstenberg–Kesten Fekete bounds and the
Birkhoff ergodic theorem), then conclude with the perturbation lemma
limsup_eq_of_sub_tendsto_zero.
S2: the discrete growth limsup is shift-invariant under A t₀ x. Almost everywhere,
for every test vector u, the discrete-time growth limsup of cocycle … n x applied to u
equals that of cocycle … n (φ t₀ x) applied to the pushed-forward vector
toEuclideanCLM (A t₀ x) u. The fixed bijection A t₀ x perturbs the per-step log-norm only by
o(n), by the fixed-time sublinearity ae_tendsto_logNorm_fixedTime_zero.
S3: per-time equivariance of the Oseledets filtration #
Equivariance of the Oseledets filtration at every real time. Let V be the Oseledets
filtration produced by the discrete theorem for the time-1 generator A 1 over the time-1
dynamics φ 1. Then for every real time t₀, almost everywhere the filtration is equivariant
under the flow: Submodule.map (toEuclideanCLM (A t₀ x)) (V i x) = V i (φ t₀ x).
The proof combines the canonical growth characterization
IsOseledetsFiltration.ae_mem_iff_limsup_le at x and (pulled back) at φ t₀ x, the
shift-invariance of the growth limsup under A t₀ x (glim_shift), and the fact that
toEuclideanCLM (A t₀ x) is a bijection. The bottom level V (Fin.last k) is ⊥, which maps
to ⊥; each other level is handled by le_antisymm of the two membership characterizations.
