Homological dimension conjecture for virtually cyclic classifying spaces

About 20 years old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a discrete subgroup of a Lie group that is not virtually cyclic. Write vcd(Γ)vcd(\Gamma) for its virtual cohomological dimension, and let BVCΓB_{\mathcal{VC}}\Gamma denote the classifying space for the family of virtually cyclic subgroups, with hdimhdim denoting homological dimension. Homological dimension conjecture. One should have

hdim(BVCΓ)=vcd(Γ)+1.hdim(B_{\mathcal{VC}}\Gamma)=vcd(\Gamma)+1.

This question is stated as unsolved in the paper and extends the dimension computation proved there for crystallographic groups.
