Sep 24, 2021 at 7:22 comment added YCor Browsing subsequent papers (see other papers by Holt in 1981 and those quoting him, etc), there seems to be a few more papers on this, but I'm not sure what they exactly conjecture or say (as it doesn't only focus on rational cd, and also because some make set-theoretic assumptions). Does it conjecture that a locally finite group of cardinal $\aleph_n$ has rational cohomological dimension $n$, and infinite when $n\ge\aleph_0$? Is part of the conjecture known (e.g., is it known that the cohomological dimension is $\ge n$? is it known for abelian groups? etc.

Sep 23, 2021 at 19:25 comment added YCor There's one thing I know making a big difference between countable and uncountable locally finite groups: $H^1(G,\mathbf{Z}G)$ is infinite when $G$ is infinite countable locally finite, while it's zero for $G$ locally finite uncountable. This former (easy) fact is due to Scott-Sonneborn; the latter is due du Holt.
