Abstract
Cup products provide a natural approach to access higher bounded cohomology groups. We extend vanishing results on cup products of Brooks quasimorphisms of free groups to cup products of median quasimorphisms, i.e., Brooks-type quasimorphisms of group actions on \({{\,\mathrm{{CAT}}\,}}(0)\) cube complexes. In particular, we obtain such vanishing results for groups acting on trees and for right-angled Artin groups. Moreover, we outline potential applications of vanishing results for cup products in bounded cohomology.
期刊介绍:
Geometriae Dedicata concentrates on geometry and its relationship to topology, group theory and the theory of dynamical systems.
Geometriae Dedicata aims to be a vehicle for excellent publications in geometry and related areas. Features of the journal will include:
A fast turn-around time for articles.
Special issues centered on specific topics.
All submitted papers should include some explanation of the context of the main results.
Geometriae Dedicata was founded in 1972 on the initiative of Hans Freudenthal in Utrecht, the Netherlands, who viewed geometry as a method rather than as a field. The present Board of Editors tries to continue in this spirit. The steady growth of the journal since its foundation is witness to the validity of the founder''s vision and to the success of the Editors'' mission.
