Abstract

For a pair (G,N)(G,N) of a group GG and its normal subgroup NN, we consider the space of quasimorphisms and quasi-cocycles on NN non-extendable to GG. To treat this space, we establish the five-term exact sequence of cohomology relative to the bounded subcomplex. As its application, we study the spaces associated with the kernel of the (volume) flux homomorphism, the IA-automorphism group of a free group, and certain normal subgroups of Gromov-hyperbolic groups. Furthermore, we employ this space to prove that the stable commutator length is equivalent to the stable mixed commutator length for certain pairs of a group and its normal subgroup.
