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 unitary coefficients, and implies finiteness results for Γ: the stable commutator length vanishes and any C1–action on the circle is almost trivial. We introduce the continuous bounded cohomology of a locally compact group and prove our statements by relating Hb•(Γ) to the continuous bounded cohomology…

Surjectivity of the comparison map in bounded cohomology for Hermitian Lie groups
• Mathematics

We prove surjectivity of the comparison map from continuous bounded cohomology to continuous cohomology for Hermitian Lie groups with finite center. For general semisimple Lie groups with finite
On the bounded cohomology of semi-simple groups, S-arithmetic groups and products
Abstract We prove vanishing results for Lie groups and algebraic groups (over any local field) in bounded cohomology. The main result is a vanishing below twice the rank for semi-simple groups.

We develop further basic tools in the theory of continuous bounded cohomology of locally compact groups. We apply this tools to establish a Milnor-Wood type inequality in a very general context and
Stabilization of Bounded Cohomology for Classical Groups
• Mathematics

We show that bounded cohomology stabilizes along sequences of classical real and complex Lie groups, and along sequences of lattices in them. Our method is based on a stability criterion which adapts

We present a theory of continuous bounded cohomology of locally compact groups with coefficients in Banach modules. A central role is played by amenable actions, as they give rise to relatively

We develop an algebro-analytic framework for the systematic study of the continuous bounded cohomology of Lie groups in large degree. As an application, we examine the continuous bounded cohomology
