### Bounded cohomology via partial differential equations, I

#### Abstract

We present a new technique that employs partial differential equations in order to explicitly construct primitives in the continuous bounded cohomology of Lie groups. As an application, we prove a vanishing theorem for the continuous bounded cohomology of $SL(2, ℝ)$ in degree $4$, establishing a special case of a conjecture of Monod.
