Genericity of trivial Lyapunov spectrum for Lp-cocycles derived from second order linear homogeneous differential equations

Given an ergodic flow $φ^t\colon M\rightarrow M$ defined on a probability space $M$ we study a family of continuous-time kinetic linear cocycles associated to the solutions of the second order linear homogeneous differential equations $\ddot x +α(φ^t(ω))\dot x+β(φ^t(ω))x=0$, where the parameters $α,β$ evolve along the $φ^t$-orbit of $ω\in M$. Our main result states that for a generic subset of kinetic continuous-time linear cocycles, where generic means a Baire second category with respect to an $L^p$-like topology on the infinitesimal generator, the Lyapunov spectrum is trivial.

Simple Lyapunov spectrum for linear homogeneous differential equations with Lp parameters

In the present paper we prove that densely, with respect to an $L^p$-like topology, the Lyapunov exponents associated to linear continuous-time cocycles $Φ:\mathbb{R}\times M\to \text{GL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ induced by second order linear homogeneous differential equations $\ddot x+α(φ^t(ω))\dot x+β(φ^t(ω))x=0$ are almost everywhere distinct. The coefficients $α,β$ evolve along the $φ^t$-orbit for $ω\in M$ and $φ^t: M\to M$ is an ergodic flow defined on a probability space. We also obtain the corresponding version for the frictionless equation $\ddot x+β(φ^t(ω))x=0$ and for a Schrödinger equation $\ddot x+(E-Q(φ^t(ω)))x=0$, inducing a cocycle $Φ:\mathbb{R}\times M\to \text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$.
