Picard-number-one conjecture for moduli spaces with level structure

For g3g\geq 3 and L2L\geq 2, let Modg[L]{\rm Mod}_g[L] be the level-LL congruence subgroup acting trivially on H1(Σg,Z/LZ)H_1(\Sigma_g,\mathbb Z/L\mathbb Z). Picard-number-one conjecture for level LL structures.

H2(Modg[L];Q)=QH_2({\rm Mod}_g[L];\mathbb Q)=\mathbb Q

when g3g\geq 3; more generally, one should compute

H2(Modg[L];Z)H_2({\rm Mod}_g[L];\mathbb Z)

for all g3g\geq 3 and L2L\geq 2. The rational assertion would imply that the orbifold Picard group of the corresponding moduli space has rank one; even the case (g,L)=(3,2)(g,L)=(3,2) is open.
