The zero-norm subspace of bounded cohomology (Q1381286)

Summary: Let \( \Sigma \) be a closed, orientable surface of genus \(\geq 1\). In this paper, non-trivial elements \(\alpha \) of the third bounded cohomology \(H_b^3(\Sigma;\mathbb{R})\) with \(\|\alpha \|= 0 \) are given constructively by using both a hyperbolic metric and a singular Euclidean metric on \( \Sigma \times \mathbb{R} \). Furthermore, it is shown that the dimension of the subspace \( N^3(\Sigma)\) of \(H_b^3(\Sigma;\mathbb{R})\) consisting of zero-norm elements is the cardinality of the continuum.
