Let
be a hyperbolic map. Cocycle equations of the form f = u
·g·
u1 are considered, with f, g, u taking values in a compact connected Lie group G,
being an automorphism of G and f, g being Hölder continuous. When the eigenvalues of the derivative of
have modulus 1, it is proved that any measurable solution u has a Hölder continuous version. This condition on
is optimal. When f, g are Ck then u may be taken to be Ck1+
for any
(0, 1).
