Degree-three irrationality conjecture for eight Fano threefold deformation families

Let XdX_d be a quasismooth member of one of the eight deformation families numbered \textnumero 1, \textnumero 19, \textnumero 28, \textnumero 39, \textnumero 49, \textnumero 59, \textnumero 66, and \textnumero 84. Let d(Xd)\mathrm{d}(X_d) denote the smallest degree of a generically finite dominant rational map from XdX_d to projective space of the same dimension. Degree-three irrationality conjecture. For every such XdX_d,

d(Xd)=3.\mathrm{d}(X_d)=3.

The surrounding theorem states this for a general member of each of the eight families, while the candidate extends the assertion to every quasismooth member; the status of this stronger formulation is not established by the supplied context.
