Generalized Amitsur conjecture for generalized Severi–Brauer varieties

From papers

Let FF be an infinite field, and let AA and BB be central simple algebras over FF of the same degree. For each r<deg(A)r<\deg(A), write Fr(A)F_r(A) and Fr(B)F_r(B) for the function fields of the corresponding generalized Severi–Brauer varieties. Generalized Amitsur conjecture. If [A][A] and [B][B] generate the same cyclic subgroup of Br(F)\operatorname{Br}(F), then

Fr(A)Fr(B)F_r(A)\cong F_r(B)

for every r<deg(A)r<\deg(A). This extends Amitsur's conjecture from ordinary Severi–Brauer varieties to generalized ones; the source presents it as a new conjecture and proves it in the cases described in the surrounding discussion, including when BAopB\cong A^{op}, while it remains open in general.
