Abstract:
We provide new computations in bounded cohomology:
A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated non-amenable boundedly acyclic groups and construct a finitely presented non-amenable boundedly acyclic group.
On the other hand, we construct a continuum of finitely generated groups, whose bounded cohomology has uncountable dimension in all degrees greater than or equal to 2, and a concrete finitely presented one.
Countable non-amenable groups with these two extreme properties were previously known to exist, but these constitute the first finitely generatedfinitely presented examples.
Finally, we show that various algorithmic problems on bounded cohomology are undecidable.
