Neumann's Bloch-group generation conjecture for hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Let FCF \subset \mathbb{C} be a number field not contained in R\mathbb{R}, and let M\mathcal{M} be the set of manifolds with invariant trace fields contained in FF,

M:={MH3/ΓQ(trΓ(2))F}.\mathcal{M}:= \left\{ M \cong \mathbb{H}^3/\Gamma \mid \mathbb{Q}(\operatorname{tr} \Gamma^{(2)}) \subseteq F \right\}.

Let N={[M]MM}\mathcal{N} = \left\{[M] \mid M \in \mathcal{M}\right\} be elements of the Bloch group determined by manifolds in M\mathcal{M}. Neumann's conjecture. Integral combinations of elements of N\mathcal{N} generate B(F)\mathcal{B}(F). This conjecture predicts that hyperbolic 3-manifolds with invariant trace fields inside FF account for the entire Bloch group of FF; the paper presents experimental evidence but does not establish the claim.
