Double complexes and vanishing of Novikov cohomology

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 18G35; Secondary 55U15. We consider non-standard totalisation functors for double complexes, involving left or right truncated products. We show how properties of these imply that the algebraic mapping torus of a self map h of a cochain complex of finitely presented modules has trivial negative Novikov cohomology, and has trivial positive Novikov cohomology provided h is a quasi-isomorphism. As an application we obtain a new...

Pairings, duality, amenability and bounded cohomology

Jacek Brodzki, Graham A. Niblo, Nick J. Wright (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We give a new perspective on the homological characterizations of amenability given by Johnson & Ringrose in the context of bounded cohomology and by Block & Weinberger in the context of uniformly finite homology. We examine the interaction between their theories and explain the relationship between these characterizations. We apply these ideas to give a new proof of non-vanishing for the bounded cohomology of a free group.
