The telescope conjecture without smash product

About 7 years old · traced to

Let T\mathcal{T} be a rigidly compactly generated tensor triangulated category. A localization L:T→TL:\mathcal{T}\to\mathcal{T} is smashing if it preserves coproducts, and it is finite if Ker⁡L\operatorname{Ker}L is generated by a set of compact objects of T\mathcal{T}. The telescope conjecture without smash product. Every smashing localization

L:T→TL:\mathcal{T}\to\mathcal{T}

is finite. This is the tensor-free formulation of the telescope conjecture; it is known to be false in this generality, while it agrees with Ravenel's telescope conjecture for spectra and, more generally, for rigidly compactly generated tensor triangulated categories.
