The space of nonextendable quasimorphisms

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 25 (2025) 1169–1226
Abstract

For a pair (G,N) of a group G with normal subgroup N, we consider the space of quasimorphisms and quasicocycles on N nonextendable to G. To treat this space, we establish the five-term exact sequence of cohomology relative to the bounded subcomplex. As an 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 normal subgroup.

Keywords
bounded cohomology, invariant quasimorphisms, group cohomology, bounded acyclicity
