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.

“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)

“One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
