Rationality conjecture for Gushel fourfolds with associated K3 surfaces

Let M4\mathcal M_4 be the moduli space of Gushel fourfolds, and let (M4)d(\mathcal M_4)_d denote the locus of discriminant dd; the loci with superscripts ' and are the corresponding components appearing in the statement. An associated K3 surface is a K3 surface associated to the fourfold in the sense of the paper.

Rationality conjecture. A fourfold [X]M4[X]\in\mathcal M_4 is rational if and only if it has an associated K3 surface, equivalently if and only if [X][X] belongs to

(M4)10(M4)10(M4)20(M4)26(M4)26(M4)34(M4)34.(\mathcal M_4)_{10}^{'} \cup (\mathcal M_4)_{10}^{”} \cup (\mathcal M_4)_{20} \cup (\mathcal M_4)_{26}^{'} \cup (\mathcal M_4)_{26}^{”} \cup (\mathcal M_4)_{34}^{'} \cup (\mathcal M_4)_{34}^{”} \cup \cdots.

This is an analogue for Gushel fourfolds of the Kuznetsov conjecture for cubic fourfolds, relating rationality to the existence of an associated K3 surface. The source presents the assertion as a conjecture; its resolution is not established by the supplied text.
