Oct 6, 2019 at 3:53 comment added Zhiyu @R.vanDobbendeBruyn Thanks, so the case $X$ is a surface is also true as stably birational smooth projective curves must be isomorphic. For the case $X$ is a threefold, is there any restriction for two smooth projective surfaces to be embedded in a common threefold ?
Oct 5, 2019 at 7:11 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn It implies $[Y_1] = [Y_2] \in K_0(\mathbf{Var}_{\mathbf C})$. For example, this implies (in the smooth projective case) that $H^{p,q}(Y_1) = H^{p,q}(Y_2)$ for all $p,q$ (Deligne) and that $Y_1$ is stably birational to $Y_2$ (Larsen–Lunts). A first example of non-isomorphic smooth projective varieties with the same class in $K_0$ is $\mathbf P^1 \times \mathbf P^1$ and $\operatorname{Bl}_p \mathbf P^2$. I don't know how to make these occur in an $X$ with isomorphic complement, but maybe people who understand toric varieties can easily write down such a thing.
