Polynomiality conjecture for the stable homology of IA-groups

Let FnF_n be a free group of rank nn, and let IAnIA_n be the kernel of the canonical epimorphism Aut(Fn)GLn(Z){\rm Aut}(F_n)\twoheadrightarrow GL_n(\mathbb{Z}). For each dNd\in\mathbb{N}, let Hd(IA;Z)H_d(IA;\mathbb{Z}) denote the corresponding homology functor on (S(Z);Z)(\mathbf{S}(\mathbb{Z});\mathbb{Z}). Polynomiality conjecture. For every dNd\in\mathbb{N}, the functor Hd(IA;Z)H_d(IA;\mathbb{Z}) on (S(Z);Z)(\mathbf{S}(\mathbb{Z});\mathbb{Z}) is strongly polynomial. The degree-one case is known: H1(IA;Z)(V)HomZ(V,Λ2(V))H_1(IA;\mathbb{Z})(V)\simeq {\rm Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}}(V,\Lambda^2(V)), naturally in VV, so its polynomial degree is exactly 33. The conjecture concerns strong polynomiality in every homological degree and is motivated by finiteness results for congruence groups and homological stability for Aut(Fn){\rm Aut}(F_n).
