Conjecture on the image of the motivic birational invariant for projective four-space

Let cc be the motivic birational invariant considered in the paper, and let SS and SS' be D-equivalent K-nef surfaces. The corresponding elements are the differences [P1]([S][S])[\mathbb P^1]([S]-[S']). Image-generation conjecture. The image c(Bir(PC4))c({\operatorname{Bir}}(\mathbb P^4_\mathbb C)) is generated by elements of the form

[P1]([S][S]).[\mathbb P^1]([S]-[S']).

This proposes a description of the currently unknown image of cc in the simplest nontrivial case. Known examples arise from D-equivalent K3 surfaces and D-equivalent elliptic surfaces of Kodaira dimension 11; the conjecture would follow from a suitable lifting of the theory of Hodge atoms to derived categories, a statement currently known only in low dimension.
