Stable finite-dimensionality of Torelli and IA_n homology

Let In,1\mathcal{I}_{n,1} be the Torelli group of a genus-nn surface with one boundary component and let IAn\operatorname{IA}_n be the IA-automorphism group of the free group FnF_n. For a group representation VV, let VfdV^{\mathrm{fd}} be its finite-dimensional part. Stable finite-dimensionality conjecture. For each i1i\geq 1 and each nn sufficiently large depending on ii, the inclusions

Hi(In,1;Q)fdHi(In,1;Q)H_i(\mathcal{I}_{n,1};\mathbb{Q})^{\mathrm{fd}}\hookrightarrow H_i(\mathcal{I}_{n,1};\mathbb{Q})

and

Hi(IAn;Q)fdHi(IAn;Q)H_i(\operatorname{IA}_n;\mathbb{Q})^{\mathrm{fd}}\hookrightarrow H_i(\operatorname{IA}_n;\mathbb{Q})

are isomorphisms. This conjecture predicts that, in the stable range, the relevant homology representations have no infinite-dimensional part; the source gives no resolution.
