Dimension formula conjecture for Steinberg-generated cohomology

Let EE be a real quadratic field and let ΓSL3(Z)\Gamma\subset\operatorname{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z}) be a finite-index subgroup. Let H(Γ,E)H(\Gamma,E) be the Steinberg-generated subspace of H3(Γ,Q)H^3(\Gamma,\mathbb{Q}), and let TT be the Tits building for GL3(Q)\operatorname{GL}_3(\mathbb{Q}). Dimension formula conjecture.

dimQH(Γ,E)=dimQH3(Γ,Q)dimQH1(T/Γ,Q).\dim_{\mathbb{Q}} H(\Gamma,E)=\dim_{\mathbb{Q}} H^3(\Gamma,\mathbb{Q})-\dim_{\mathbb{Q}} H_1(T/\Gamma,\mathbb{Q}).

The formula is presented as a numerical consequence of the preceding conjecture and was verified in the computations for the levels and fields tested, but remains open in the stated generality.
