Amitsur's equal-degree conjecture for Brauer–Severi varieties

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let XX and YY be Brauer–Severi varieties, and let AA and BB be the corresponding central simple kk-algebras. Assume

deg⁡(A)=deg⁡(B).\operatorname{deg}(A)=\operatorname{deg}(B).

Amitsur's conjecture. If AA and BB generate the same cyclic subgroup of Br(k)\mathrm{Br}(k), then XX and YY are birational.

This is the converse to the birationality implication proved by Amitsur: birational Brauer–Severi varieties have corresponding algebras generating the same subgroup of the Brauer group. The source does not specify whether the conjecture has been resolved in general.
