Contents:
Introduction -- 1. (Bounded) cohomology of groups -- 2. (Bounded) cohomology of groups in low degree -- 3. Amenability -- 4. (Bounded) group cohomology via resolutions -- 5. Bounded cohomology of topological spaces -- 6. ℓ¹-homology and duality -- 7. Simplicial volume -- 8. The proportionality principle -- 9. Additivity of the simplicial volume -- 10. Group actions on the circle -- 11. The Euler class of sphere bundles -- 12. Milnor-Wood inequalities and maximal representations -- 13. The bounded Euler class in higher dimensions and the Chern conjecture.
Summary: The theory of bounded cohomology, introduced by Gromov in the late 1980s, has had powerful applications in geometric group theory and the geometry and topology of manifolds, and has been the topic of active research continuing to this day. This monograph provides a unified, self-contained introduction to the theory and its applications.
