L-equivalence conjecture for cubic fourfold Fourier–Mukai partners

Let XX and YY be cubic fourfolds over the complex numbers. Their Kuznetsov components are the admissible subcategories AX\mathcal{A}_X and AY\mathcal{A}_Y in the semiorthogonal decompositions

Db(X)AX,OX,OX(1),OX(2).\mathcal{D}^{b}(X)\simeq\langle\mathcal{A}_X,\mathcal{O}_X,\mathcal{O}_X(1),\mathcal{O}_X(2)\rangle.

Two cubic fourfolds are L-equivalent if their classes in the Grothendieck ring of varieties become equal after multiplication by a power of the class of the affine line. They are Fourier–Mukai partners when their Kuznetsov components are equivalent. L-equivalence conjecture for cubic fourfolds. If XX and YY are L-equivalent, then they are Fourier–Mukai partners:

XLY    AXAY.X\sim_{L}Y\implies\mathcal{A}_X\simeq\mathcal{A}_Y.

This is proposed as a cubic-fourfold instance of the conjectural implication from L-equivalence to derived equivalence for projective hyperkähler manifolds. The conjecture has also appeared recently in the cited literature and remains open.
