Statement of The Theorem
Let μ be an invariant measure on X and C a cocycle of the dynamical system such that for each t∈T, the maps and are L1-integrable with respect to μ. Then for μ-almost all x and each non-zero vector u∈Rn the limit
exists and assumes, depending on u but not on x, up to n different values. These are the Lyapunov exponents.
Further, if λ1 > ... > λm are the different limits then there are subspaces Rn = R1 ⊃ ... ⊃ Rm ⊃ Rm+1 = {0} such that the limit is λi for u∈ Ri\Ri+1 and i = 1, ..., m.
The values of the Lyapunov exponents are invariant with respect to a wide range of coordinate transformations. Suppose that g : X → X is a one-to-one map such that and its inverse exist then the values of the Lyapunov exponents do not change.

“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
