Flatmates and the bounded cohomology of algebraic groups

Group Theory 2024-07-09 v2 Algebraic Geometry Algebraic Topology

Abstract

For all algebraic groups over non-Archimedean local fields, the bounded cohomology vanishes. This follows from the corresponding statement for automorphism groups of Bruhat--Tits buildings, which hinges on the solution to the flatmate conjecture raised in earlier work with Bucher. Vanishing and invariance theorems for arithmetic groups are derived.
