Provides new understanding of the structure of bounded cohomology in these contexts.
Abstract
We show that in the bounded cohomology of non-abelian free groups the Massey triple product is always trivial when the second factor is represented by the coboundary of a decomposable quasi-morphism. We also show that in the bounded cohomology of a negatively curved compact Riemannian manifold the Massey triple product is always trivial when the second factor is represented by an exact differential form.
