Abstract

Let be a closed, orientable surface of genus > 1. In this paper, non-trivial elements of the third bounded cohomology with are given constructively by using both a hyperbolic metric and a singular euclidean metric on . Furthermore, it is shown that the dimension of the subspace of consisting of zero-norm elements is the cardinality of the continuum.
