Abstract

We observe that there exists an associative finite dimensional C\mathbb{C}-algebra AA of finite global dimension, such that the bounded derived category Db(A)D^b(A) of finite dimensional AA-modules admits an admissible subcategory P\mathcal{P} with vanishing Grothendieck group K0(P)K_0(\mathcal{P}). In other words, PDb(A)\mathcal{P} \subseteq D^b(A) is a phantom. Using tilting theory, this follows directly from a very recent example of a phantom for a smooth rational surface due to Krah. By work of Aihara & Iyama, this also leads to new examples of presilting objects that cannot be completed to silting objects.
