The cup product of Brooks quasimorphisms

Group Theory 2017-11-06 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We prove the vanishing of the cup product of the bounded cohomology classes associated to any two Brooks quasimorphisms on the free group. This is a consequence of the vanishing of the square of a universal class for tree automorphism groups.
