TL;DR
This paper proves that the continuous bounded cohomology of SL_2 over non-Archimedean local fields vanishes in all positive degrees, extending to boundary-transitive groups of tree automorphisms and S-integers.
Contribution
It establishes vanishing results for the bounded cohomology of SL_2 over certain fields and groups, generalizing previous knowledge in the area.
Findings

Vanishing extends to boundary-transitive groups of tree automorphisms.
Low degree vanishing results for SL_2 over S-integers.
Abstract
It is proved that the continuous bounded cohomology of SL_2(k) vanishes in all positive degrees whenever k is a non-Archimedean local field. This holds more generally for boundary-transitive groups of tree automorphisms and implies low degree vanishing for SL_2 over S-integers.
