Bounded cohomology of lattices in higher rank Lie groups

Marc Burger, Nicolas Monod (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the natural map H b 2 ( Γ ) H 2 ( 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 C 1 –action on the circle is almost trivial. We introduce the continuous bounded cohomology of a locally compact group and prove our statements by relating H * b ( Γ ) to the continuous bounded cohomology of the ambient group...

Bounding the orders of finite subgroups.

Ian J. Leary, Brita E. A. Nucinkis (2001)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We give homological conditions on groups such that whenever the conditions hold for a group G, there is a bound on the orders of finite subgroups of G. This extends a result of P. H. Kropholler. We also suggest a weaker condition under which the same conclusion might hold.

Catégorification des coefficients de la matrice de la représentation de Burau

Abderrahmane Bouchair (2010)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Nous catégorifions explicitement les coefficients de la matrice de la représentation de Burau en utilisant des méthodes géométriques élémentaires. Nous montrons que cette catégorification est fidèle dans le sens où elle détecte la tresse triviale.

Cohomology of Lie groups made discrete.

Pere Pascual Gainza (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We give a survey of the work of Milnor, Friedlander, Mislin, Suslin and other authors on the Friedlander-Milnor conjecture on the homology of Lie groups made discrete and its relation to the algebraic K-theory of fields.
