Abstract
Bounded cohomology of groups was first studied by Gromov in 1982 in his seminal paper M. Gromov, Volume and bounded cohomology, Inst. Hautes Études Sci. Publ. Math. (1982), no. 56, 5–99. Since then it has sparked much research in Geometric Group Theory. However, it is notoriously hard to explicitly compute bounded cohomology, even for most basic “non-positively curved” groups. On the other hand, there is a well-known interpretation of ordinary group cohomology in dimension $2$ and $3$ in terms of group extensions. The aim of this paper is to make this interpretation available for bounded group cohomology. This will involve quasihomomorphisms as defined and studied by K. Fujiwara and M. Kapovich, On quasihomomorphisms with noncommutative targets, Geom. Funct. Anal. 26 (2016), no. 2, 478–519.
