Abstract
We consider locally minimizing measures for the conservative twist maps of the -dimensional annulus or for the Tonelli Hamiltonian flows defined on a cotangent bundle . For weakly hyperbolic such measures (i.e. measures with no zero Lyapunov exponents), we prove that the mean distance/angle between the stable and the unstable Oseledet's bundles gives an upper bound of the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents and a lower bound of the smallest positive Lyapunov exponent. Some more precise results are proved too.
