The MCK decomposition conjecture for Fano varieties of K3 type

Let XX) be a Fano variety of K3 type, meaning that XX has dimension 2d2d and its Hodge numbers satisfy

hp,q(X)=0h^{p,q}(X)=0

for all pqp\not=q, except that hd1,d+1(X)=hd+1,d1(X)=1h^{d-1,d+1}(X)=h^{d+1,d-1}(X)=1. Here, an MCK decomposition is a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition of the motive of a variety.

MCK decomposition conjecture. Every Fano variety XX of K3 type has an MCK decomposition.

The conjecture is motivated by the expected relationship between Fano varieties of K3 type and hyperkähler varieties, which are themselves expected to admit MCK decompositions. Its resolution is not stated in the supplied text, so its status remains open.
