Rationality conjecture for general Peskine sixfolds with trivial twisting

From papers

Let D1,6,10{\mathcal D}^{1,6,10} be the parameter space appearing in the construction of Peskine sixfolds, and let X1σX_1^\sigma denote the Peskine sixfold associated to σ\sigma. For a general σD1,6,10\sigma\in{\mathcal D}^{1,6,10}, let (S,β)(S,\beta) be its associated degree 66 twisted K3 surface, where β\beta is the twisting class.

Rationality conjecture for Peskine sixfolds. If the twisting class β\beta is trivial, then X1σX_1^\sigma is rational.

This conjecture is motivated by the analogous expected relationship for cubic fourfolds containing a plane between rationality and triviality of the twisting class. The paper presents it as an open question for general Peskine sixfolds.
