Rationality conjecture for [200 Q[200~\mathbb{Q}-factorial nodal quartic double solids

A nodal quartic double solid is a double cover of P3\mathbb{P}^3 branched over a nodal quartic surface; it is Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial if every Weil divisor has a positive multiple that is Cartier.

Rationality conjecture for Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial nodal quartic double solids. Every Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial nodal quartic double solid is irrational.

The preceding results show that non-Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial nodal quartic double solids are rational except for the six-nodal example arising from a cubic threefold. The claim concerns the remaining Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial case and is presented as a generalization of the paper's rationality results.
