Audit review
The paper proves the random Livšic regularity theorem via twisted transfer-operator perturbation theory and a martingale-coboundary decomposition, yielding the closed-form expression (23) and B-regularity of H; the model gives a direct backward-iteration/transfer-operator proof that also produces (23). The model’s only delicate point is its Neumann-series argument for 1/v_ω ∈ B_ω; while likely valid under the paper’s (V1)-(V9) framework, it needs a short justification (or can be bypassed exactly as the paper does by normalizing the transfer operators).
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} The paper gives a solid and general operator-theoretic proof of Livšic regularity in random and sequential settings, clearly extending and differing from prior deterministic arguments. The core spectral-perturbation and martingale steps are correct and well-referenced. Minor clarifications would further improve readability, especially around the passage from normalized to raw transfer-operator formulae and the convergence modes.
