Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the notion of bounded Betti numbers, and show that the bounded Betti numbers of a closed Riemannian $n$-manifold $(M, g)$ with Ric\,$(M)\ge -(n-1)$ and Diam\,$(M)\le D$ are bounded by a number depending on $D$ and $n$. We also show that there are only finitely many isometric isomorphism types of bounded cohomology groups $({\widehat{\text H}}^*(M), \parallel \cdot\parallel_{\infty})$ among closed Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ with $K(M)\ge -1$ and Diam\,$(M)\le D$.
