The conjecture that the modified Bloch group computes indecomposable K3

Let FF be a number field. Let B(F)\overline{B}(F) be the modified Bloch group and let K3(F)tfindK_3(F)^{\mathrm{ind}}_{\mathrm{tf}} be the torsion-free quotient of the indecomposable part of K3(F)K_3(F). The canonical homomorphism is

ψF,tf:B(F)tfK3(F)tfind.\psi_{F,\mathrm{tf}}:\overline{B}(F)_{\mathrm{tf}}\longrightarrow K_3(F)^{\mathrm{ind}}_{\mathrm{tf}}.

Modified Bloch group conjecture. The homomorphism ψF,tf\psi_{F,\mathrm{tf}} is an isomorphism. Extensive computations for imaginary quadratic fields motivate the claim that the modified Bloch group accounts for all of the indecomposable K3K_3-group modulo torsion. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
