An example for Kuznetsov-Shinder conjecture

TL;DR
The paper addresses how derived equivalence between smooth projective varieties interacts with motivic invariants in the Grothendieck ring of varieties and the Lefschetz motive, in particular whether $D$-equivalence forces $L$-equivalence or stronger. It constructs an explicit infinite family of simply connected rational 3-folds $X_{ extbf{p}}$ by blowing up eight points in $ abla P^3$ such that $D(X_{ extbf{p}})rom D(X_{ extbf{q}})$ for $ extbf{p} eq extbf{q}$ but $X_{ extbf{p}} otrom X_{ extbf{q}}$. Remarkably, all members share the same class in $K_0(Var/k)$, hence are $lam$-equivalent, which provides evidence for the Kuznetsov–Shinder conjecture in the simply connected, rational case. The discussion also connects this to birational invariants via Larsen–Lunts and to Kawamata's DK-conjecture, showing the constructed family satisfies these links via a common blow-up and canonical-divisor pull-backs. The significance is that it yields an explicit, infinite family of derived-equivalent but non-isomorphic varieties with identical motivic classes, clarifying the interplay between derived categories, motivic invariants, and birational geometry.
Abstract
We give an example for the Kuznetsov-Shinder conjecture, with infinitely many non-isomorphic D-equivalent and L-equivalent varieties.
