Spin and characteristic-class conjecture for the commutator subgroup

From papers

Let XX be a simply connected symplectic manifold, let Gk0(X,ω)G_k^0(X,\omega) be the reduced stabilized fundamental group, and let LkL_k and KXK_X be the classes appearing in the construction. Define Γ1\Gamma_1 by Γ1=Z2\Gamma_1=\mathbb{Z}_2 if XX is spin and Γ1=1\Gamma_1=1 otherwise, and define Γ2\Gamma_2 by Γ2=Z2\Gamma_2=\mathbb{Z}_2 if LkKX(mod2)L_k\equiv K_X\pmod 2 and Γ2=1\Gamma_2=1 otherwise. Commutator subgroup structure conjecture. If kk is large enough, then

[Gk0,Gk0]Γ1×Γ2.[G_k^0,G_k^0]\simeq\Gamma_1\times\Gamma_2.

This proposed refinement is based on a relatively small amount of evidence from the examples in the paper and remains open.
