Abstract

Let nn be a non-negative integer. {Motivated by the universal property of the stable category of Frobenius categories, the authors in \cite{bfss} extended the stabilization of Frobenius categories to nn-Frobenius categories, and called it the phantom stable categories. Precisely, assume that \C\C is an nn-Frobenius category.} The phantom stable category of \C\C is a pair (\C\p,T)(\C_{\p}, T), with \C\p\C_{\p} an additive category having the same objects as \C\C and TT an additive covariant functor from \C\C to \C\p\C_{\p}, vanishing over nn-\Ext\Ext-phantom morphisms and T(f)T(f) is an isomorphism, for any nn-\Ext\Ext-invertible morphism ff, {and TT has the universal property with respect to these conditions. The existence of the phantom stable category (\C\p,T)(\C_{\p}, T) and its several interesting properties have appeared in \cite{bfss}. This paper is devoted to further study of phantom stable categories. In particular, it is shown that } the syzygy functor \syz\syz, using nn-projective objects, from \C\C to \C\p\C_{\p} is not only an additive functor, but also it induces an auto-equivalence functor \Syz\Syz on \C\p\C_{\p}. These results would be the first evidence to show that phantom stable categories are triangulated, with the shift functor \Syz\Syz. At the end of the paper we give a 1-Frobenius subcategory of the category of coherent sheaves over the projective line.
