Conjecture on the motivic birational invariant for projective three-space over arbitrary fields
Conjecture on the motivic birational invariant for projective three-space over arbitrary fields
Let be a field, and let and be smooth projective curves over that are D-equivalent and whose geometric irreducible components have genus . The associated differences are . Image-generation conjecture. For any field , the image is generated by differences of the form
This is a conjectural description over nonclosed fields, where the invariant is known to vanish over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. The proposed generators reflect the currently constructed nontrivial examples; only curves whose geometric irreducible components have genus at most can contribute, and genus-zero curves yield no nontrivial D-equivalence.
