Nonrationality conjecture for the varieties XnX_n

Let XnX_n be the varieties in the series of GKG_K-Mori fiber spaces over P1\mathbb{P}^1 whose general fibers are isomorphic to the degree-22 del Pezzo surface SKS_K. Nonrationality conjecture. The varieties XnX_n are non-rational for n2n\geq 2. This predicts that the members of the constructed family from index 22 onward are not rational, extending the paper's focus on proving nonrationality for del Pezzo fibrations by reduction modulo pp. The supplied text gives no evidence that this conjecture has been resolved.
