Conjecture on groups of product type or K3 type for rationally connected threefolds

Let XX be a rationally connected variety of dimension 33, and let GBir(X)G\subset \mathrm{Bir}(X) be a finite abelian group. By the third type, we mean the case in which GG faithfully acts on a GQG\mathbb{Q}-Fano threefold XX with KX=|-K_X|=\emptyset, as in Theorem 1. Product-or-K3 type conjecture. Any group of the third type is either of product type or of K3 type. Here a group is of product type if GG1×G2G\simeq G_1\times G_2 with GiCri(C)G_i\subset \mathrm{Cr}_i(\mathbb{C}), while it is of K3 type if it is an extension of a finite abelian group faithfully acting on a K3 surface by a cyclic group. The conjecture would eliminate the third case as a genuinely new possibility in the classification of finite abelian groups acting on rationally connected threefolds; the source presents it as an expectation, and no resolution is supplied here.
