Endomorphism algebras of 2-term silting complexes

Abstract: We study possible values of the global dimension of endomorphism algebras of 2-term silting complexes. We show that for any algebra $A$ whose global dimension $\mathop{\rm gl. dim}\nolimits A\leq 2$ and any 2-term silting complex $\mathbf{P}$ in the bounded derived category ${D^b(A)}$ of $A$, the global dimension of $\mathop{\rm End}\nolimits_{D^b(A)}(\mathbf{P})$ is at most 7. We also show that for each $n>2$, there is an algebra $A$ with $\mathop{\rm gl. dim}\nolimits A=n$ such that ${D^b(A)}$ admits a 2-term silting complex $\mathbf{P}$ with $\mathop{\rm gl. dim}\nolimits \mathop{\rm End}\nolimits_{D^b(A)}(\mathbf{P})$ infinite.
