Suppose a group G acts on a Gromov‐hyperbolic space X properly discontinuously. If the limit set L(G) of the action has at least three points, then the second bounded cohomology group of G , Hb2(G;R) is infinite dimensional. For example, if M is a complete, pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold with finite volume, then Hb2(π1(M);R) is infinite dimensional. As an application, we show that if G is a knot group with G≄Z, then Hb2(G;R) is infinite dimensional. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 20F32; secondary 53C20, 57M25.
