The weak polynomial degree conjecture for homology of elementary matrix groups

Let II be a nonunital ring, let I+=IZI_+=I\oplus\mathbb{Z} be its unitalization, and let ΓI\Gamma_I denote the corresponding functor from finitely generated free abelian groups to groups whose homology defines the functor Hn(ΓI)H_n(\Gamma_I). A functor is weakly polynomial of degree at most dd when it has weak polynomial degree bounded by dd in the sense used in the paper.

Weak polynomial degree conjecture. For every nonunital ring II and every integer nNn\in\mathbb{N}, the functor Hn(ΓI)H_n(\Gamma_I) is weakly polynomial of degree at most 2n2n.

This conjecture aims to recover and generalize Suslin's result that, under suitable vanishing and nonvanishing conditions on ToriI+(Z,Z)\operatorname{Tor}^{I_+}_i(\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{Z}), the functor Hn(ΓI)H_n(\Gamma_I) has weak polynomial degree 22.
