Galois structure conjecture for torsion cohomology

Let E/FE/F be a cyclic Galois extension of degree pp, let E/FE'/F be a split extension of degree pp, and let MU\mathcal{M}_\mathcal{U} and MU\mathcal{M}'_{\mathcal{U}'} be the associated locally symmetric spaces with related level structures. Let LMU\mathcal{L}\rightarrow\mathcal{M}_\mathcal{U} and LMU\mathcal{L}'\rightarrow\mathcal{M}'_{\mathcal{U}'} be matching rationally acyclic local systems. The group Z[σ]\mathbb{Z}[\sigma] acts through the Galois permutation, and the cohomology is graded by degree.

Galois structure conjecture. The graded Z[σ]\mathbb{Z}[\sigma]-modules

H(MU,L)andH(MU,L)H^{*}(\mathcal{M}'_{\mathcal{U}'},\mathcal{L}')\quad\text{and}\quad H^{*}(\mathcal{M}_\mathcal{U},\mathcal{L})

are isomorphic.

This conjecture predicts that the rational trace identity for matching level structures extends to torsion cohomology, including the derived-tensor-product behavior in split base-change examples. Its resolution is not given in the source.
