Bounded cohomology, cross ratios and cocycles
@article{Hamenstaedt2005BoundedCC, title={Bounded cohomology, cross ratios and cocycles}, author={Ursula Hamenstaedt}, journal={arXiv: Group Theory}, year={2005} }
We use cross ratios to describe second real continuous bounded cohomology for locally compact topological groups. We also derive a rigidity result for cocycles with values in the isometry group of a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space.

We prove that the natural map Hb2(Γ)?H2(Γ) from bounded to usual cohomology is injective if Γ is an irreducible cocompact lattice in a higher rank Lie group. This result holds also for nontrivial…
