Loday's conjectural Leibniz homology theory for groups

Let Grp\mathbf{Grp} be the category of groups, let Zinbc\mathbf{Zinb}^c denote coZinbiel coalgebras, and let Comc\mathbf{Com}^c denote cocommutative coalgebras. For a group GG, write HL(G,k)\mathrm{HL}_{\bullet}(G,\Bbbk) for its conjectural Leibniz homology and H(G,k)\mathrm{H}_{\bullet}(G,\Bbbk) for its Eilenberg–MacLane homology. Loday's conjecture. There exists a Leibniz homology theory defined for groups, naturally endowed with a coZinbiel coalgebra structure, namely a functor

HL(,k):GrpZinbc.\mathrm{HL}_{\bullet}(-,\Bbbk): \mathbf{Grp} \to \mathbf{Zinb}^c.

It is related to usual group homology by a natural morphism of cocommutative algebras

HL(G,k)H(G,k).\mathrm{HL}_{\bullet}(G,\Bbbk) \to \mathrm{H}_{\bullet}(G,\Bbbk).

Moreover, this Leibniz homology is the natural homology theory of mathematical objects called coquecigrues, whose groups naturally carry the relevant structure. The conjecture proposes a group-level analogue of Leibniz homology for Lie algebras; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
