Law of large numbers for the spectral radius of random matrix products

arXiv:1908.07469

Abstract

We prove that the spectral radius of an i.i.d.\ random walk on $\GL_d(\C)$ satisfies a strong law of large numbers under finite second moment assumption and a weak law of large numbers under finite first moment. No irreducibility assumption is supposed.
