Coexistence of measures with simple Lyapunov spectrum for fiber-bunched cocycles

Abstract

We prove that if a H\"older continuous fiber-bunched cocycle $\hat{A}$ over an invertible hyperbolic transitive shift $\hat{\Sigma}$ satisfies an appropriate strong irreducibility condition on Grassmannians, then $\hat{\Sigma}$ admits an ergodic measure $\hat{\mu}$ with full support and product structure with simple Lyapunov spectrum if and only if any other ergodic measure with full support and product structure also has simple Lyapunov spectrum.
