Morita's non-vanishing conjecture for the Morita classes of free-group automorphisms

For each integer i1i\geq1, let

μiH4i(OutF2i+2;Q)\mu_i\in H_{4i}(\operatorname{Out}F_{2i+2};\mathbb Q)

be the homology class constructed from Kontsevich's graph-homology construction. Morita's conjecture. The classes μi\mu_i are non-trivial for all i=1,2,i=1,2,\ldots. The cases i=1i=1 and i=2i=2 were known to be non-trivial at the time of the paper, while non-triviality for all ii remains open.
