Abstract: Let $ k$ be a field of characteristic zero. Let $ X$ and $ X'$ be two $ k$-schemes of finite type having the same class in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. Is it true that $ X$ and $ X'$ are piecewise isomorphic? This question, originally asked by Larsen and Lunts, and some of its consequences constitute the subject of this article.
