The assembly-generation conjecture below virtual cohomological dimension

Let Γn,s\Gamma_{n,s} denote the relevant graph automorphism group, and let AϕA_\phi be the assembly map associated to a gluing ϕ\phi producing the graph Xn,sX_{n,s}. Write 2n+s32n+s-3 for the virtual cohomological dimension of Γn,s\Gamma_{n,s}. Assembly-generation conjecture. If k2n+s3k\not=2n+s-3, then Hk(Γn,s)H_k(\Gamma_{n,s}) is generated by the images of the assembly maps AϕA_\phi over all possible gluings producing Xn,sX_{n,s}. The examples in the paper verify this for n=1n=1 and n=2n=2; the conjecture concerns generation in every homological degree except the virtual cohomological dimension.
