Nonexistence of finite-dimensional DG algebra phantoms

Let R\mathscr R be a smooth finite-dimensional DG algebra, and let P ⁣erf ⁣--R\mathscr{P}\!\mathit{erf}\!\operatorname{--}\mathscr R denote its DG category of perfect modules. A phantom is a smooth and proper DG category with trivial Hochschild homology and vanishing K0K_0. Nonexistence conjecture for DG algebra phantoms. There are no phantoms of the form

P ⁣erf ⁣--R.\mathscr{P}\!\mathit{erf}\!\operatorname{--}\mathscr R.

The source discusses the existence of geometric phantoms but suggests that quasi-phantoms and phantoms arising from smooth finite-dimensional DG algebras should not exist; no resolution is given.
