Bounded cohomology of diffeomorphism groups of higher dimensional spheres

Geometric Topology 2024-11-22 v1

Abstract

In this paper we prove the vanishing of the bounded cohomology of Diff+r(Sn)\text{Diff}^r_+(S^n) with real coefficients when n4n\geq 4 and 1r1\leq r\leq \infty. This answers the question raised in \cite{FNS24} for 4\geq 4 dimensional spheres.
