The generalized Freyd conjecture for a triangulated category

Let T\mathscr{T} be a triangulated category, let B\mathscr{B} be a small full subcategory closed under the shift functor Σ\Sigma, and let C\mathscr{C} be the thick full subcategory generated by B\mathscr{B}. Write [X,Y][X,Y] for the abelian group of maps from XX to YY in T\mathscr{T}, and let PB\mathscr{P}\mathscr{B} and PC\mathscr{P}\mathscr{C} be the categories of additive functors from Bop\mathscr{B}^{op} and Cop\mathscr{C}^{op} to Ab\mathsf{Ab}. Define the Freyd functor F ⁣:TPB\mathbb{F}\colon\mathscr{T}\to\mathscr{P}\mathscr{B} by FX()=[,X]\mathbb{F}X(-)=[-,X] and Ff=[,f]\mathbb{F}f=[-,f]. The generalized Freyd conjecture. The restriction F ⁣:CPB\mathbb{F}\colon\mathscr{C}\to\mathscr{P}\mathscr{B} is faithful; equivalently, for every map ff in C\mathscr{C}, Ff=0\mathbb{F}f=0 if and only if f=0f=0. This is a generalization of the generating hypothesis for the stable homotopy category, but it is false without additional hypotheses; the paper studies formal conditions under which it holds.
