Carlson–Toledo conjecture in terms of the Hurewicz morphism

Let Γ\Gamma be an infinite Kähler group. Carlson–Toledo conjecture. There exists a compact Kähler manifold MM with π1(M)\pi_1(M) a finite-index subgroup of Γ\Gamma such that the Hurewicz morphism

π2(M)ZRH2(M,R)\pi_2(M)\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow H_2(M,\mathbb{R})

is not surjective.

By the Hopf exact sequence, this is a topological restatement of the Carlson–Toledo conjecture on virtually positive second cohomology. The source does not state that it has been resolved.
