For M a compact Riemannian manifold Brandenbursky and Marcinkowski constructed a transfer map H * b (π1(M )) → H * b (Homeo vol,0 (M )) and used it to show that for certain M the space EH 3b (Homeo vol,0 (M )) is infinite-dimensional. Kimura adapted the argument to Diff vol (D 2 , ∂D 2 ). We extend both results to the higher degrees EH 2n b , n ≥ 1. We also show that for certain M the ordinary cohomology H * (Homeo vol,0 (M )) is non-trivial in all degrees. In our computations we view the transfer map as being induced by a coupling of groups.
