Expanding maps and the Rokhlin/Pesin right-hand-side identity #
For a differentiable self-map T : E → E of E := EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d) we call T
uniformly expanding when there is an expansion constant K > 1 with
K · ‖v‖ ≤ ‖Dₓ T v‖ for every base point x and every tangent vector v. By the chain rule
this expansion compounds along the orbit: the derivative of the n-th iterate satisfies
Kⁿ · ‖v‖ ≤ ‖D(T^[n]) v‖. Consequently every singular value of the cocycle iterate is at least
Kⁿ, so every Lyapunov exponent of the tangent cocycle is at least log K > 0.
When all Lyapunov exponents are positive the positive-part filter is everything, so the sum of
the strictly positive exponents ∑λ⁺ (the Pesin / Margulis–Ruelle right-hand side, the entropy
of an SRB measure) coincides with the sum of all exponents, which by the trace–determinant identity
equals ∫ log|det Dₓ T| dμ (the Rokhlin right-hand side, the integrated volume distortion).
This is the honest, foliation-free version of the Ledrappier–Young/Rokhlin entropy formula in the
expanding case: no stable foliation, no SRB-density machinery — just the all-positive-spectrum
collapse of the positive-part sum onto the determinant integral.

A differentiable self-map T : EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d) → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d) is
uniformly expanding when there is an expansion constant K > 1 such that the derivative
Dₓ T stretches every tangent vector by at least K: K · ‖v‖ ≤ ‖Dₓ T v‖ for every base point
x and every vector v.

The compounded expansion bound. For a differentiable uniformly expanding map with
expansion constant K, the derivative of the n-th iterate stretches every vector by at least
Kⁿ: Kⁿ · ‖v‖ ≤ ‖D(T^[n]) v‖. Proved by induction on n, using the chain rule
D(T^[n+1]) x = D(T^[n]) (T x) ∘ Dₓ T to peel off one expanding factor at each step.
Compounded expansion in cocycle form. The matrix cocycle iterate
toEuclideanCLM (cocycle (derivativeCocycle T) T n x) stretches every vector by at least Kⁿ.
This is cocycle_expanding_bound transported through the chain-rule cocycle identity
chainRule_cocycle.
A uniform lower bound on the norm implies a lower bound on all singular values #
A uniform lower bound on the stretching of a linear endomorphism of EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d)
forces every one of its d singular values to be at least that bound: if c · ‖v‖ ≤ ‖f v‖ for
every v, then c ≤ σᵢ(f) for each i < d. The proof evaluates f on the (unit-norm) right
singular vector uᵢ, where σᵢ(f) = ‖f uᵢ‖ ≥ c · ‖uᵢ‖ = c.
Every singular value is at least Kⁿ. For a differentiable uniformly expanding map with
constant K, every singular value of the cocycle iterate A⁽ⁿ⁾ = cocycle (derivativeCocycle T) T n
is at least Kⁿ (for i < d). Combines cocycle_expanding_bound_clm (the uniform stretching
bound) with le_singularValues_of_forall_le, identifying toEuclideanCLM with toEuclideanLin.
Every Lyapunov exponent is at least log K, hence positive #
Every Lyapunov exponent is at least log K. For an ergodic, log-integrable, differentiable
uniformly expanding map with constant K, each Lyapunov exponent of the tangent cocycle is at
least log K. The per-index σ-limit (1/n) log σᵢ(A⁽ⁿ⁾) → exponents i holds μ-a.e.
(exponents_tendsto_log_singularValue); by expanding_pow_le_singularValues the pre-limit terms
are ≥ (1/n) log Kⁿ = log K, so the limit inherits the bound.
Every Lyapunov exponent of an expanding map is strictly positive. Since each exponent is
at least log K and K > 1 gives log K > 0, every exponent is positive.
For an expanding map, the positive-exponent sum is the full exponent sum. Because every
Lyapunov exponent is strictly positive, the positive-part filter {i | 0 < exponents i} is all of
Finset.univ, so ∑λ⁺ = ∑λ.
The Pesin = Rokhlin right-hand-side identity for an expanding map. For an ergodic,
log-integrable, differentiable uniformly expanding self-map T, the sum of the strictly positive
Lyapunov exponents — the Pesin / Margulis–Ruelle right-hand side ∑λ⁺ — equals the integral
of log|det Dₓ T| — the Rokhlin right-hand side (integrated volume distortion):
∑λ⁺ = ∫ log|det Dₓ T| dμ.
This is the honest, foliation-free instance of the entropy formula: since all exponents are
positive, ∑λ⁺ = ∑λ (sumPosExp_eq_sumAllExp_of_expanding), and the trace–determinant identity
sumAllExp_eq_integral_log_abs_det rewrites ∑λ as ∫ log|det A|.
