Vanishing conjecture for assembled classes under rank stabilization

Let ϕ\phi be a gluing and let AϕA_\phi be its assembly map for the homology groups of the graph automorphism groups Γn,s\Gamma_{n,s}. A class is positive-dimensional when it has homological degree greater than zero. Stabilization-vanishing conjecture. If ϕ\phi is any gluing, then all positive-dimensional classes in the image of AϕA_\phi vanish after a single stabilization with respect to nn. The paper proves this when the stabilization uses a rank-11 factor, but the general assertion remains open.
