Resolution of the cohomology comparison problem for amenable Banach algebras (Q1191350)

Let \(M\) be a Banach bimodule over a complex Banach algebra \(A\). From the early days of the Banach algebra cohomology up to this day, virtually nothing has been known about the comparison map for the higher cohomology groups. The purpose of this paper is to resolve this question for arbitrary amenable Banach algebras. The following result is given in this paper: If \(\text{card }A=\aleph_ n\) then, for every Banach bimodule \(M\) and any \(q\geq n+3\), the comparison map \(i^ q: {\mathcal H}^ q(A,M)\to H^ q(A,M)\) is zero.
