Aug 7, 2021 at 7:54 comment added Dan Petersen Perhaps the following reference can be useful: "The cohomology of the braid group B_3 and of SL_2(Z) with coefficients in a geometric representation", Filippo Callegaro, Fred Cohen, Mario Salvetti.

Aug 6, 2021 at 20:26 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Indeed, my coefficients are $\mathbb Z^n\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}(-)$ applied to $K^\times$ or~$\mu$. Taking this outside of the Ext will see the torsion, but the problem is probably with $\mathbb Z^n$.
Aug 6, 2021 at 20:25 comment added tj_ The Mayer-Vietoris sequence holds for all coefficients (cf. Brown VII.9) and the cohomology of cyclic groups is easy. So I would guess that you can get some information from MV.
Aug 6, 2021 at 20:22 comment added Tom Goodwillie Whatever the answer is, I would not think it would have much to do with $K$. What is known about the cohomology in low degrees of $SL_n(\mathbb Z)$ with $\mathbb Z^n$ coefficients?
Aug 6, 2021 at 20:00 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez That does work great if the coefficients have trivial action. You find, for example, that $H^2(\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb Z),\mathbb Z)$ is $\mathbb Z/12\mathbb Z$ and $0$ in odd degrees, so you can compute $H^2$ with values in finite cyclic groups with trivial action.
Aug 6, 2021 at 19:56 comment added tj_ Can't you exploit that SL_2(Z) is the amalgam of C_4 and C_6 along C_2 and apply the Mayer-Vietoris sequence?
