Further questions and discussion

• Relation between Chow DDC and cohomological DDC, i.e
• (i). find an example (dimension is expected >4) which admits cohomological DDC but does not admit Chow DDC
• (ii). find other examples where cohomological DDC is equivalent to Chow DDC

• Possible improvement of Voisin’s criterion
• Stably rationality of conic bundles (threefolds), quadric bundles (fourfolds), cubic fourfolds
