Full-spectrum scaling of the special-flow Lyapunov exponents #
The space-level special-flow headline Oseledets.ae_suspensionMeasure_hasFlowExponent_of_measurable
(Oseledets.Continuous.SuspensionFlowExponentFinal) establishes, for μ̂ = suspensionMeasure-a.e.
orbit class q, the top flow exponent λ_base / ∫τ — the Lyapunov analogue of Abramov's
entropy formula h(flow) = h(base)/∫τ. That headline is, however, generic in its cocycle
generator: it takes an arbitrary base generator A : X → Matrix (Fin d) (Fin d) ℝ, an arbitrary
base growth rate lam (the a.e. limit of (1/n) log ‖cocycle A T n x‖), and produces the
cover-cocycle growth rate lam / ∫τ. Nothing in it is special to the top exponent.
This module upgrades that to the full spectrum, i.e. to every exponent of the base spectrum,
by instantiating the generic headline at the exterior (compound) cocycle generator extGen k A
(Oseledets.Lyapunov.Extensions.ExteriorCocycle). The k-th compound cocycle C_k(A^{(n)}) has
operator-norm growth rate Γ_k = ∑_{i<k} exponents i (the sum of the top-k base exponents,
Oseledets.tendsto_log_opNorm_compound_cocycle), so feeding it into the generic special-flow
headline yields the partial-sum (exterior-power) flow scaling
Γ_k^flow = Γ_k^base / ∫τ (ae_suspensionMeasure_hasFlowExponent_extGen),
read as HasFlowExponent (extGen k A) … q (Γ_k / ∫τ): the top exponent of the k-fold exterior
suspension flow — i.e. the sum of the top-k flow exponents — equals Γ_k^base / ∫τ.
Telescoping the partial-sum flow exponents gives the per-exponent / full-spectrum scaling: for
every sorted index i : Fin d,
λ_i^flow = λ_i^base / ∫τ (suspension_perExponent_scaling).
This is a genuine flow statement, not a base-only identity. The i-th flow exponent is read as the
increment of the partial-sum flow exponents, λ_i^flow = Γ_{i+1}^flow − Γ_i^flow; the partial-sum
flow exponents are the proved values Γ_k^flow = Γ_k^base / ∫τ carried by the k-fold exterior
suspension flow at μ̂ = suspensionMeasure-a.e. orbit class q
(ae_suspensionMeasure_hasFlowExponent_extGen). So suspension_perExponent_scaling asserts, for
μ̂-a.e. q, that both consecutive exterior flow exponents are realized at q —
HasFlowExponent (extGen (i+1) A) … q (Γ_{i+1}^base / ∫τ) and
HasFlowExponent (extGen i A) … q (Γ_i^base / ∫τ) — and that their difference equals
exponents i / ∫τ. The increment identity is the base telescoping
Γ_{i+1}^base − Γ_i^base = exponents i (gammaK_succ_sub_gammaK) divided through by the actual
mean roof ∫τ (a positive constant under the bounded-roof hypothesis), never a free scalar. This
is the full-spectrum statement requested for Issue #5: the entire suspension/flow Lyapunov
spectrum is the base spectrum divided by ∫τ, exponent by exponent, not merely the top exponent.

Measurability of the exterior (compound) cocycle generator #
The compound matrix is a measurable function of its argument. Each entry of
ExteriorNorm.compoundMatrix k M is the determinant of a k × k submatrix of M, hence a
polynomial in the entries of M; the determinant is measurable (measurable_det on the submatrix
index type) and post-composing with the entry-extraction keeps measurability.
Measurability of the exterior (compound) cocycle generator extGen k A. Since
extGen k A x = C_k(A x) and C_k is measurable (measurable_compoundMatrix), the generator is
measurable whenever the base generator A is.
The exterior cocycle's base growth rate is Γ_k #
The exterior cocycle's discrete growth rate is Γ_k. For μ-a.e. base point x,
(1/n) log ‖cocycle (extGen k A) T n x‖ → Γ_k. This is tendsto_log_opNorm_compound_cocycle
(the k-volume / largest-minor growth equals the partial sum Γ_k) rewritten through the cocycle
identity cocycle (extGen k A) T n x = C_k(cocycle A T n x) (cocycle_extGen_eq_compound). It is
the base-growth datum consumed by the generic special-flow headline at extGen k A.
The partial-sum (exterior-power) flow scaling #
The partial-sum (exterior-power) special-flow Lyapunov scaling. Instantiate the generic,
fully unconditional special-flow headline ae_suspensionMeasure_hasFlowExponent_of_measurable at
the exterior (compound) cocycle generator extGen k A, with base growth rate lam := Γ_k. The
required base-growth datum is tendsto_log_opNorm_cocycle_extGen and the generator measurability is
measurable_extGen; the roof hypotheses are unchanged (independent of the cocycle generator). For
μ̂ = suspensionMeasure-a.e. orbit class q,
HasFlowExponent (extGen k A) … q (Γ_k / ∫τ),
i.e. the top exponent of the k-fold exterior suspension flow — the sum of the top-k flow
exponents — equals Γ_k^base / ∫τ. For k = 1 this recovers the top-exponent headline; for
k = d it is the volume / determinant growth.
The partial-sum flow scaling, read as a value identity. The flow growth rate carried by the
k-fold exterior suspension flow at μ̂-a.e. class q is Γ_k^base / ∫τ. This is a restatement
of ae_suspensionMeasure_hasFlowExponent_extGen: the HasFlowExponent-value equals
Γ_k / ∫τ.
The per-exponent / full-spectrum scaling #
The base-spectrum telescoping identity. The consecutive partial sums of the base spectrum
differ by exactly one exponent: for every sorted index i : Fin d,
Γ_{i+1}^base − Γ_i^base = exponents i. This is the purely algebraic content behind the
per-exponent scaling — it telescopes Γ_k = ∑_{j<k} exponents j (gammaK_eq_sum_top_exponents) —
and is reused in the flow statement after dividing through by ∫τ.
The per-exponent (full-spectrum) special-flow scaling. For every sorted index i : Fin d,
the i-th flow exponent equals the i-th base exponent divided by the mean roof ∫τ:
λ_i^flow = exponents i / ∫τ.
This is a genuine flow statement, not a base-only tautology: the i-th flow exponent is defined
here as the increment of the partial-sum flow exponents,
λ_i^flow = Γ_{i+1}^flow − Γ_i^flow, and those partial-sum flow exponents are the proved values
Γ_k^flow = Γ_k^base / ∫τ carried by the k-fold exterior suspension flow at μ̂-a.e. orbit
class q (ae_suspensionMeasure_hasFlowExponent_extGen). Concretely, for μ̂ = suspensionMeasure T hτ μ-almost every orbit class q, both consecutive exterior flow exponents are realized,
HasFlowExponent (extGen (i+1) A) … q (Γ_{i+1}^base / ∫τ) and
HasFlowExponent (extGen i A) … q (Γ_i^base / ∫τ),
and their difference — the i-th flow exponent — equals exponents i / ∫τ:
(Γ_{i+1}^base / ∫τ) − (Γ_i^base / ∫τ) = exponents i / ∫τ.
The increment identity is the telescoping Γ_{i+1}^base − Γ_i^base = exponents i
(gammaK_succ_sub_gammaK) divided through by the actual mean roof ∫τ (not a free scalar). Thus
the entire suspension/flow Lyapunov spectrum is the base spectrum divided by ∫τ, exponent by
exponent — the full-spectrum analogue of Abramov's h(flow) = h(base)/∫τ.
