Birationality conjecture for geometrically rational surfaces with the same atoms
Birationality conjecture for geometrically rational surfaces with the same atoms
Let and be geometrically rational surfaces, and let nontrivial atoms mean the atoms other than the trivial pieces in their atomic semi-orthogonal decompositions. Birationality conjecture for geometrically rational surfaces. The surfaces and are birational if and only if they have the same nontrivial atoms. This extends the proved birationality criterion for birationally rich surfaces and would give a categorical criterion for birationality among all geometrically rational surfaces. The source identifies remaining cases among minimal del Pezzo surfaces and Mori conic bundles of degree at most , so the conjecture remains open.
