Homological stability for automorphism groups of direct products

Let HH and GG be finitely generated groups, and let F:U ⁣fGZ-ModF:U\! f\mathcal{G}\to \mathbb{Z}\operatorname{-Mod} be a coefficient system of finite degree. For each nn, consider the homology group Hi(Aut(H×Gn);F(H×Gn))H_i(\operatorname{Aut}(H\times G^n);F(H\times G^n)). Direct-product stability conjecture. The map

Hi(Aut(H×Gn);F(H×Gn))Hi(Aut(H×Gn+1);F(H×Gn+1))H_i(\operatorname{Aut}(H\times G^n);F(H\times G^n))\longrightarrow H_i(\operatorname{Aut}(H\times G^{n+1});F(H\times G^{n+1}))

is an isomorphism for nn large. This extends known stability results for several classes of groups, including products of centre-free groups, free abelian groups, finite abelian groups, and right-angled Artin groups, while the general case remains open.
