Ciliberto–Di Gennaro conjecture for nodal hypersurfaces

From papers

Let XP4X\subset\operatorname{\mathbb{P}}^4 be a nodal hypersurface, meaning a hypersurface of degree dd whose singularities are all ordinary double points. Assume that XX has at most 2(d2)(d1)2(d-2)(d-1) singular points. Ciliberto–Di Gennaro conjecture. One of the following holds: (1) XX is factorial; (2) XX contains a plane and has at least (d1)2(d-1)^2 nodes; or (3) XX contains a quadric surface and has exactly 2(d2)(d1)2(d-2)(d-1) nodes. The conjecture concerns the factoriality of nodal hypersurfaces, a property equivalent here to Q\operatorname{\mathbb{Q}}-factoriality and relevant to questions of rationality. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source context.
