Injectivity conjecture for modular-form classes in rank-two assembly

About 11 years old · traced to

Let X2m,0\mathcal{X}_{2m,0} be the space appearing in the modular-form construction, and let

χ:⨁0≤i<m(⋀2X2m,i)⟶H4m+2(Out⁡(F2m+3))\chi:\bigoplus_{0\leq i<m}\left(\bigwedge^2\mathcal{X}_{2m,i}\right)\longrightarrow H_{4m+2}\bigl(\operatorname{Out}(F_{2m+3})\bigr)

be the map obtained by gluing two rank-22 graphs along all their leaves. Injectivity conjecture. The restriction of χ\chi to the summand ⋀2X2m,0\bigwedge^2\mathcal{X}_{2m,0} is injective. The first potentially nontrivial target is H42(Out⁡(F23))H_{42}(\operatorname{Out}(F_{23})); the conjecture appeared previously as a question, and injectivity is regarded as plausible for small indices.
