چکیده
Simplicial volume is a homotopy invariant of oriented closed connected manifolds introduced by Gromov in his proof of Mostow rigidity. On the one hand, the simplicial volume of a Riemannian manifold encodes non-trivial information about the Riemannian volume; on the other hand, simplicial volume can be described in terms of a certain functional analytic version of homological algebra (bounded cohomology). In this article we survey important properties and applications of simplicial volume as well as useful techniques for working with simplicial volume.

Simplicial Volume and Fillings of Hyperbolic Manifolds
Let M be a hyperbolic n–manifold whose cusps have torus crosssections. In [FM10], the authors constructed a variety of nonpositively and negatively curved spaces as “2π–fillings” of M by replacing the cusps of M with compact “partial cones” of their boundaries. These 2π–fillings are closed pseudomanifolds, and so have a fundamental class. We show that the simplicial volume of any such 2π–fillin...
متن کاملAspherical Manifolds, Relative Hyperbolicity, Simplicial Volume, and Assembly Maps
This paper contains examples of closed aspherical manifolds obtained as a by-product of recent work by the author [Bel] on the relative strict hyperbolization of polyhedra. The following is proved. (I) Any closed aspherical triangulated n-manifold M with hyperbolic fundamental group is a retract of a closed aspherical triangulated (n+ 1)manifold N with hyperbolic fundamental group. (II) If B1, ...
متن کاملOn the Simplicial Volumes of Fiber Bundles
We show that surface bundles over surfaces with base and fiber of genus at least 2 have non-vanishing simplicial volume. The simplicial volume ||M ||, introduced by Gromov [3], is a homotopy invariant which measures the complexity of the fundamental class of an oriented manifold M . It is determined by the classifying map of the universal covering, and tends to be non-zero for large manifolds o...
متن کاملAspherical Manifolds with Relatively Hyperbolic Fundamental Groups
We show that the aspherical manifolds produced via the relative strict hyperbolization of polyhedra enjoy many group-theoretic and topological properties of open finite volume negatively pinched manifolds, including relative hyperbolicity, nonvanishing of simplicial volume, co-Hopf property, finiteness of outer automorphism group, absence of splitting over elementary subgroups, acylindricity, a...
متن کاملAn Isometry Between Measure Homology and Singular Homology
In Thurston’s notes, he gives two different definitions of the Gromov norm (also called simplicial volume) of a manifold and states that they are equal but does not prove it. Gromov proves it in the special case of hyperbolic manifolds as a consequence of his proof that simplicial volume is proportional to volume. We give a proof for all differentiable manifolds.
