Surjectivity of the Comparison Map in Bounded Cohomology for Hermitian Lie Groups

چکیده
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 center, the same argument shows that the image of the comparison map contains all the even degree primitive elements. Our proof uses a Hirzebruch type proportionality principle in combination with Gromov’s results on boundedness of primary characteristic classes and results of Cartan and Borel on the cohomology of compact homogeneous spaces.

On Transfer in Bounded Cohomology
We define a transfer map in the setting of bounded cohomology with certain metric G-module coefficients. As an application, we extend a theorem on the comparison map from Borelbounded to Borel cohomology (cf. [1]), to cover the case of Lie groups with finitely many connected components.
متن کاملCyclic Cohomology and Higher Rank Lattices
We review topologically Nistor’s computation of the homogeneous part of the periodic cyclic cohomology of crossed products Γ⋉A of torsion-free discrete groups Γ with a complex Γ-algebra A. We use periodic cyclic cohomology associated to bornological algebras. Let G be a complex connected semisimple Lie group and B be a minimal parabolic subgroup of G. Applied to torsion-free discrete subgroups ...
متن کاملDigital cohomology groups of certain minimal surfaces
In this study, we compute simplicial cohomology groups with different coefficients of a connected sum of certain minimal simple surfaces by using the universal coefficient theorem for cohomology groups. The method used in this paper is a different way to compute digital cohomology groups of minimal simple surfaces. We also prove some theorems related to degree properties of a map on digital sph...
متن کاملSurjectivity for Hamiltonian G-spaces in K-theory
Let G be a compact connected Lie group, and (M,ω) a Hamiltonian G-space with proper moment map μ. We give a surjectivity result which expresses the K-theory of the symplectic quotient M//G in terms of the equivariant K-theory of the original manifold M , under certain technical conditions on μ. This result is a natural K-theoretic analogue of the Kirwan surjectivity theorem in symplectic geomet...
متن کاملB-Bounded Cohomology and Applications
A discrete group with word-length (G,L) is B -isocohomological for a bounding classes B if the comparison map from B -bounded cohomology to ordinary cohomology (with coefficients in C) is an isomorphism; it is strongly B isocohomological if the same is true with arbitrary coefficients. In this paper we establish some basic conditions guaranteeing strong B -isocohomologicality. In particular, we...
