Abstract

A Herman–Avila–Bochi type formula is obtained for the average sum of the top $d$ Lyapunov exponents over a one-parameter family of $\mathbb{G}$-cocycles, where $\mathbb{G}$ is the group that leaves a certain, non-degenerate Hermitian form of signature $(c,d)$ invariant. The generic example of such a group is the pseudo-unitary group $\text{U}(c,d)$ or, in the case $c=d$, the Hermitian-symplectic group $\text{HSp}(2d)$ which naturally appears for cocycles related to Schrödinger operators. In the case $d=1$, the formula for $\text{HSp}(2d)$ cocycles reduces to the Herman–Avila–Bochi formula for $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles.
