Hassett–Kuznetsov rationality conjecture for cubic fourfolds

Let XX be a smooth cubic fourfold, and let Cd\mathcal{C}_d denote the Hassett divisor parametrizing special cubic fourfolds with a labelling of discriminant dd. The numerical condition is

d>6d>6

and dd is not divisible by 44, 99, or any prime p2(mod3)p\equiv 2\pmod 3. Hassett–Kuznetsov rationality conjecture. The fourfold XX is rational if and only if XCdX\in\mathcal{C}_d for some dd satisfying this numerical condition. This is presented in the source as a conjecture, with no resolution supplied there.
