Density conjecture for periodic derived orbit categories

Let Λ\Lambda be a finite-dimensional algebra, let nn be a positive integer, and write Db(modΛ)\operatorname{\mathsf D^{\mathsf b}}(\operatorname{\mathsf{mod}} \Lambda) for the bounded derived category of finite-dimensional Λ\Lambda-modules, Σ\Sigma for its suspension functor, and Dn(modΛ)\operatorname{\mathsf D_n}(\operatorname{\mathsf{mod}} \Lambda) for the triangulated hull of the orbit category by Σn\Sigma^n. The canonical embedding is

Δ ⁣:Db(modΛ)/ΣnDn(modΛ).\Delta \colon \operatorname{\mathsf D^{\mathsf b}}(\operatorname{\mathsf{mod}} \Lambda)/\Sigma^n \to \operatorname{\mathsf D_n}(\operatorname{\mathsf{mod}} \Lambda).

Density conjecture. For each positive integer nn, the embedding Δ\Delta is dense if and only if Λ\Lambda is piecewise hereditary.

This conjecture characterizes when the periodic derived orbit category coincides with its triangulated hull. It is posed as the strongest expected form of the search for algebras whose orbit categories differ from their triangulated hulls; its resolution is not supplied in the source.
