Stable b-infinite transitivity conjecture for unirational varieties

Let XX be a unirational algebraic variety over a field k\mathbf{k}. The field k(X)(y1,,ym)\mathbf{k}(X)(y_1,\ldots,y_m) is said to admit an infinitely transitive model if it has a model that is infinitely transitive, where infinitely transitive means that the subgroup of Aut(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) generated by additive-group actions acts transitively on every finite ordered collection of points. A variety is stably b-infinitely transitive if such a model exists for k(X)(y1,,ym)\mathbf{k}(X)(y_1,\ldots,y_m) for some m0m\geq 0 and k(X)\mathbf{k}(X)-transcendental elements yiy_i. Stable b-infinite transitivity conjecture. Any unirational variety XX is stably b-infinitely transitive. This would connect unirationality with the existence of models admitting highly transitive unipotent group actions, extending the known fact that rational varieties are stably b-infinitely transitive. The source provides no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
