The authors' main claim We exhibit a finitely presented group whose second cohomology contains a weakly bounded, but not bounded, class.
The compiled record
The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

We exhibit a finitely presented group whose second cohomology contains a weakly bounded, but not bounded, class. As an application, we disprove a long-standing conjecture of Gromov about bounded primitives of differential forms on universal covers of closed manifolds.

To prove this claim, we use [ref] , that characterizes the kernel of $ι_CW$ in terms of a linear isoperimetric inequality: $ι_CW([α_]) = 0$ if and only if there is a constant $L ∈$ such that $α_(c) ≤L∂c_1$ for every $c ∈C_2^CW(X;)$.

The first of the two facts follows directly from the definitions, while the second one is proved in [ref] .
