abstract: Results of Avila and Xu asserts that SL(2,R) and symplectic cocycles with non-zero Lyapunov exponents are dense in a very general setting. In this work, we are concerned with stably non-zero exponents. We consider symplectic cocycles over partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with compact center leaves. We prove that the Lyapunov exponents are non-zero in an open and dense set in the Holder topology.
