Cup product on relative bounded cohomology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, we define cup product on relative bounded cohomology, and study its basic properties. Then, by extending it to a more generalized formula, we prove that all cup products of bounded cohomology classes of an amalgamated free product \( G_{1}\ast_{A}G_{2} \) are zero for every positive degree, assuming that free factors \( G_i \) are amenable and amalgamated subgroup \( A \) is normal in both of them. As its consequences, we show that all cup products of bounded cohomology classes of the groups \( \mathbb{Z} \ast \mathbb{Z} \) and \( \mathbb{Z}_{n} \ast_{\mathbb{Z}_{d}}\mathbb{Z}_m \), where \( d \) is the greatest common divisor of \( n \) and \( m \), are zero for every positive degree.
