title: Exponential decay of correlations for randomly chosen hyperbolic toral automorphisms.
abstract: We consider pairs of toral automorphisms (A,B) satisfying an invariant cone property. At each iteration, A acts with probability p is in (0,1) and B with probability 1-p. We prove exponential decay of correlations for a class of Hölder continuous observables.
