DESCRIPTION:By the van Est isomorphism\, continuous cohomology of simple L
 ie groups vanishes in degree greater than the dimension of the associated 
 symmetric space.  In his ICM address 2006\, Monod conjectured that a simil
 ar vanishing theorem should hold for continuous bounded cohomology.  In th
 is talk we will present an approach to this conjecture in the case of SL_2
 (R)\, applying methods from harmonic analysis and partial differential equ
 ations.  This is joint work with T. Hartnick.
