Exact polynomial-degree 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){\mathcal{H}}_d(IA;\mathbb{Z}) denote the associated stable homology object, and let Polr(S(Z),Z){\mathcal{P}ol}_r(\mathbf{S}(\mathbb{Z}),\mathbb{Z}) denote the category of polynomial objects of degree at most rr. Exact-degree conjecture. For every dNd\in\mathbb{N}, Hd(IA;Z){\mathcal{H}}_d(IA;\mathbb{Z}) belongs to Pol3d(S(Z),Z){\mathcal{P}ol}_{3d}(\mathbf{S}(\mathbb{Z}),\mathbb{Z}) but not to Pol3d1(S(Z),Z){\mathcal{P}ol}_{3d-1}(\mathbf{S}(\mathbb{Z}),\mathbb{Z}). This is presented as a further conjecture beyond strong polynomiality, and the source does not indicate a proof or resolution.
