Phantom maps and purity in modular representation theory. II (Q5949140)

[For part I see Fundam. Math. 161, No. 1-2, 37-91 (1999; Zbl 0944.20004).] The authors produce examples of filtered systems in the stable module category of \(kG\) which do not lift to filtered systems in the module category of \(kG\); here \(kG\) denotes the group algebra of a finite group \(G\) over a field of characteristic \(p>0\). Their main tool is a 5-term sequence involving spaces of phantom maps. Recall that a \(kG\)-homomorphism \(M\to N\) is called phantom if \(L\to M\to N\) is projective for every finitely generated \(kG\)-module \(L\).
