Coherence of group algebras of surface-by-cyclic groups

Let Σ\Sigma be a closed surface, let ψOut(π1(Σ))\psi\in\operatorname{Out}(\pi_1(\Sigma)), and let

Gπ1(Σ)ψZ.G\cong \pi_1(\Sigma)\rtimes_{\psi}\mathbb{Z}.

Surface-by-cyclic group-algebra coherence conjecture. The group algebra Q[G]\mathbb{Q}[G] is coherent. The source identifies the virtual surface-group case as difficult and open, motivating this conjectural extension of coherence results for hyperbolic-by-cyclic groups.
