The P¹×P^{d−1} construction yields an affine-space source only in the case d equals three.
Not yet assessed. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; nothing has funded an assessment of this claim yet, and anyone can.
Decomposition
This claim has not been assessed yet. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; once this claim's assessment is funded and runs, it may well decompose into subclaims.
Provenance
Where this claim has been said, linked to its canonical form.
the answer is no for every d ≥ 4 — d = 3 is the only case where the complement can be A^d, in any characteristic.
Comment by Skooi responding to Speyer's proposed generalization of the construction to a map P¹×P^{d−1} → P^d; supported by a class-group excision argument, later independently echoed by Shubhodip Mondal.
