Rigidity conjecture for upper motives of generalized Severi–Brauer varieties

Let DD be a central division FF-algebra, and let Mm,DM_{m,D} denote its upper motive associated with the generalized Severi–Brauer variety X(pm,D)X(p^m,D). Let K/FK/F be a field extension such that DKD_K remains a division algebra. Rigidity conjecture. The motive (Mm,D)K(M_{m,D})_K remains indecomposable. This conjecture concerns the persistence of indecomposability of upper motives under field extensions that do not split the underlying division algebra; the source indicates that a particular case can be proved using the main theorem, while the general statement is not resolved there.
