Quasi-morphisms on the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of
the 2-disk
(JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Gambaudo and Ghys constructed linearly independent countably many quasi-
morphisms on the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-disk
from quasi-morphisms on braid groups.
In this talk, we will explain that their construction is injective as a
homomorphism between vector spaces of quasi-morphisms.
If time permits, we introduce an application by Brandenbursky and K\\c{e}
