Castravet's conjecture on the rational quotient of elliptic quintics

Let YY be a cubic fourfold, and let C{\mathcal C} be the connected component of the Hilbert scheme Hilb5m(Y)\emph{Hilb}^{5m}(Y) containing elliptic quintic curves in YY. Let the maximally rationally connected quotient of C{\mathcal C} be the birational quotient parametrizing its maximally rationally connected fibers. The twisted intermediate Jacobian of YY is the corresponding twisted intermediate Jacobian variety.

Castravet's conjecture. The maximally rationally connected quotient of C{\mathcal C} is birationally equivalent to the twisted intermediate Jacobian of YY.

The conjecture relates the birational geometry of the Hilbert-scheme component of elliptic quintics to the intermediate Jacobian. The source presents it as an application of the constructed hyperkähler compactification; no resolution is stated.
