The trace/determinant identity: sum of all Lyapunov exponents = ∫ log|det| #
This module is purely additive on top of the spectrum object
Oseledets.exponents : Fin d → ℝ and the telescoping growth rate Oseledets.gammaK
(both in Oseledets/Lyapunov/ExponentSums.lean / Spectrum.lean). It proves the classical
determinant identity of multiplicative ergodic theory: under the standing hypotheses
(hT : Ergodic T μ, hA : ∀ x, (A x).det ≠ 0, hAmeas : Measurable A,
hint : IntegrableLogNorm A μ, hint' : IntegrableLogNorm (fun x => (A x)⁻¹) μ, together
with [IsProbabilityMeasure μ]), the sum of all Lyapunov exponents (counted with
multiplicity) equals the integral of log|det| of the generator:
∑ i, exponents i = ∫ x, log |(A x).det| ∂μ.
The proof is the standard composition:
- Volume = product of all singular values. The product of all
dsingular values of a matrix equals the absolute value of its determinant:sprod A T d n x = |det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)|. This is proved via the squared-singular-value/Gram-eigenvalue bridge (sq_singularValues_eq_gram_eigenvalue) anddet = ∏ eigenvaluesfor the symmetric Gram operator (LinearMap.IsSymmetric.det_eq_prod_eigenvalues):sprod_d² = det(MᵀM) = (det M)², hencesprod_d = |det M|. log|det|is an additive (Birkhoff) cocycle. Becausedetis multiplicative (Matrix.det_mul),log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| = ∑_{k<n} log|det(A(Tᵏx))|, i.e. the exact Birkhoff sum oflog|det A|(the equality analogue of the submultiplicative log-norm sandwich).- Birkhoff ergodic theorem.
(1/n) log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| → ∫ log|det A|μ-a.e., using thatlog|det A|is integrable (it equalslog sprod_datn = 1, integrable byintegrable_logSprod). - Telescoping at
k = d. The same normalized quantity also converges toΓ_d = ∑ i, exponents i(gammaK_eq_sum_top_exponents). Uniqueness of limits gives the identity.

Step 1: the product of all singular values is the absolute determinant #
The determinant as a linear map equals the matrix determinant for toEuclideanLin.
toEuclideanLin is Matrix.toLin for the standard orthonormal basis, so the determinant of
the associated endomorphism is the matrix determinant (LinearMap.det_toLin).
Product of all singular values = |det| (deterministic, every n, x).
The product of all d singular values of the cocycle iterate equals the absolute value of
its determinant. Proof: square it, use σᵢ² = eigenvalue_i(MᵀM)
(sq_singularValues_eq_gram_eigenvalue) and det = ∏ eigenvalues for the symmetric Gram
operator, giving sprod_d² = det(MᵀM) = (det M)²; then take the (nonnegative) square root.
No invertibility is required: the identity holds for every matrix (both sides are
nonnegative and have equal squares).
Step 2: log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| is the Birkhoff sum of log|det A| #
log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| is an additive (Birkhoff) cocycle. Since det is multiplicative
(Matrix.det_mul), the log of the absolute determinant of the cocycle iterate is exactly
the Birkhoff sum of log|det A| (the equality analogue of the submultiplicative log-norm
sandwich logNorm_cocycle_le_birkhoffSum).
Step 3: integrability of log|det A| #
log|det A| ∈ L¹(μ). Identifying |det A| with the product of all singular values of
A (sprod A T d 1 = |det(A⁽¹⁾)| = |det A|), integrability follows from the integrability of
log sprod_d (integrable_logSprod at k = d, n = 1), which is dominated by the two
Furstenberg–Kesten log-norm cocycles d·(log⁺‖A‖ + log⁺‖A⁻¹‖).
Step 4: the a.e. growth limit and the determinant identity #
The a.e. determinant growth limit. For μ-a.e. x, the normalized log absolute
determinant of the cocycle iterate converges to the sum of all Lyapunov exponents:
(1/n) log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| → ∑ i, exponents i. Two ingredients: the Birkhoff a.e. limit of the
additive cocycle log|det A| (which is ∫ log|det A|) and the telescoping growth rate
Γ_d = ∑ i, exponents i (gammaK), tied together via sprod_d = |det|. This route
identifies the limit as the exponent sum; the value ∫ log|det A| is recorded in
sumAllExp_eq_integral_log_abs_det.
The determinant identity. The sum of all Lyapunov exponents (counted with
multiplicity) equals the integral of log|det| of the generator:
∑ i, exponents i = ∫ x, log |(A x).det| ∂μ. Proved by identifying the two a.e. limits of
(1/n) log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)|: the Birkhoff limit ∫ log|det A| (via log_abs_det_cocycle_eq_ birkhoffSum + the ergodic Birkhoff theorem) and the exponent sum (tendsto_log_abs_det_ cocycle); uniqueness of limits closes the identity.
Volume contraction corollary #
Volume contraction. If the sum of all Lyapunov exponents is negative, then for
μ-a.e. x the absolute determinant (the volume-scaling factor) of the cocycle iterate
tends to 0: |det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| → 0. Since (1/n) log|det(A⁽ⁿ⁾)| → ∑ exp < 0, the log absolute
determinant tends to -∞, so its exponential tends to 0.
