A proper dg algebra which does not cogenerate

Abstract: Keller's strong form of the homological conjectures asserts: any finite dimensional algebra cogenerates its unbounded derived category of modules. Here we record an example of a (coconnective) dg algebra with finite dimensional cohomology, which does not cogenerate its module category, along with some related phenomena: a smooth dg category whose dualizing bimodule fails to be nondegenerate, and a nontrivial fully faithful left Calabi-Yau morphism. All examples and most proofs were produced by ChatGPT. In an appendix we explain the reason we were looking for such examples: their existence would follow from the existence of Weinstein symplectic manifolds which failed to satisfy Arnol'd's chord conjecture.
