The rationality conjecture for cubic fourfolds with associated K3 surfaces
The rationality conjecture for cubic fourfolds with associated K3 surfaces
Let be a smooth cubic fourfold in . Let , and let denote the Hassett divisor of special cubic fourfolds with a labelled discriminant- rank-two lattice. The numerical condition (*) is
Rationality conjecture. A smooth cubic fourfold is rational if and only if for some satisfying (*).
This is the rationality criterion suggested by the relationship between special cubic fourfolds and associated K3 surfaces. The source gives no resolution status for this assertion.
