Description:
In hyperbolic dynamics there is a general (and vague) idea that can be summarized saying with the following sentence:
Most of the dynamically interesting information on a hyperbolic system is concentrated in its periodic orbits.
In this mini-course we shall mainly deal with cocycles over hyperbolic dynamical systems and discuss some results supporting this idea (like Livšic type theorems) and some others contradicting it. Finally, we shall discuss some applications of these techniques to the study of finitely generated groups of diffeomorphisms and random walks on manifolds.

The fundamental references for the mini-course are the following: [6], [3], [1], [4], [5] ,[2].
