Abstract

We establish large deviation type estimates for i.i.d. products of two dimensional random matrices with finitely supported probability distribution. The estimates are stable under perturbations and require no irreducibility assumptions. In consequence, we obtain a uniform local modulus of continuity for the corresponding Lyapunov exponent regarded as a function of the support of the distribution. This in turn has consequences on the modulus of continuity of the integrated density of states and on the localization properties of random Jacobi operators.
