The phantom-category conjecture for Sarkisov conic bundles

Let XX be the smooth threefold conic bundle constructed from the Sarkisov example, with discriminant curve as described in the source. Let Db(X)D^b(X) denote its bounded derived category, and let a phantom category mean a nontrivial category with trivial K0K^0 group.

Sarkisov phantom-category conjecture. The semiorthogonal decomposition of Db(X)D^b(X) contains a phantom category.

The conjecture is motivated by the nonrationality of Sarkisov's conic bundle and by the moving scheme arising from conifold transitions; the source further suggests a relation between the phantom and the absence of spectral gaps.
