The infinite-generation conjecture for rational cohomology of indefinite Kac-Moody groups

Let A=(aij)n×nA=(a_{ij})_{n\times n} be a Cartan matrix of indefinite type with n3n\geq3, and let G(A)G(A) be the associated Kac-Moody group. Infinite-generation conjecture. The rational cohomology ring

H(BG(A);Q)H^*(BG(A);\mathbb Q)

is infinitely generated.

The conjecture is motivated by the authors' result that the rational cohomology ring is infinitely generated for a generic Kac-Moody group. The assertion for every indefinite-type Cartan matrix of rank at least 33 is presented as open.
