Kulikov's nondecomposability conjecture for transcendental Hodge structures of surfaces

Let SS be a smooth projective surface over the complex numbers. Write TST_S for the integral polarized Hodge structure on the transcendental part of H2(S,Z)H^2(S,\mathbb Z). Nondecomposability conjecture. The integral polarized Hodge structure TST_S is indecomposable. This conjecture is motivated by the proposed approach to proving irrationality of very general cubic fourfolds: a birational parametrization would force the transcendental Hodge structure of a surface to contain the transcendental structure of the cubic fourfold as a proper summand. The conjecture remains open in the source.
