The Quadratic Zariski Problem for anisotropic quadrics

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let XX and YY be anisotropic quadrics of the same dimension over a field kk. A rational morphism means a rational map between these varieties, defined on a dense open subset. Quadratic Zariski Problem. If there exist rational morphisms

X⇢YandY⇢X,X \dashrightarrow Y \quad\text{and}\quad Y \dashrightarrow X,

then XX and YY should be birational. This asks whether stable birationality forces birationality for smooth anisotropic quadrics; the problem is stated as open in the source, although the general Zariski problem is false without the quadratic hypotheses.
