Unbounded degree of irrationality for very general polarized K3 surfaces

Let SdS_d be a very general polarized K3K3 surface with polarization LdL_d such that Ld2=2d2L_d^2=2d-2, for each dNd\in\mathbb N. Unbounded irrationality conjecture.

lim supdIrr(Sd)=+.\limsup_{d\to\infty}\mathrm{Irr}(S_d)=+\infty.

The degree of irrationality measures how far a projective variety is from being rational, generalizing the gonality of curves. This conjecture, proposed in the cited work, remains open and motivates the study of birational invariants of hyper-Kähler manifolds.
