Unique ergodicity and random matrix products

Description
Summary:We investigate the question: if T:X → X is a uniquely ergodic homeomorphism of a compact metrizable space and B:X → GL(k,R) is a continuous map of X into the space of invertible, k × k, real matrices does \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\frac{1}{n}\log (||\mathop \Pi \limits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} B (T^i x)||)$$\end{document} converge uniformly to a constant? Conditions on B are given so that the answer is ‘yes’, and an example is given to show the general answer is ‘no’ when k≥2. The more general case of vector bundle automorphisms covering T is considered.
