Monod's isomorphism conjecture for bounded cohomology of semisimple Lie groups

Let GG be a connected semi-simple Lie group with finite center. Let Hcb(G;R)H^*_{\rm cb}(G;\mathbb{R}) denote its continuous bounded cohomology with real coefficients, and let Hc(G;R)H^*_{\rm c}(G;\mathbb{R}) denote its ordinary continuous cohomology.

Monod's isomorphism conjecture. The continuous bounded cohomology of GG with real coefficients is naturally isomorphic to its ordinary continuous cohomology:

Hcb(G;R)Hc(G;R).H^*_{\rm cb}(G;\mathbb{R})\cong H^*_{\rm c}(G;\mathbb{R}).

This is presented as a stronger version of Dupont's conjecture and is open for all semisimple non-compact groups. The source attributes the problem to Monod.
