We show, for a wide class of abelian categories relevant in representation
theory and algebraic geometry, that the bounded derived categories have no
non-trivial strongly finitely generated thick subcategories containing all
perfect complexes. In order to do so we prove a strong converse of the Ghost
Lemma for bounded derived categories.Comment: 15 pages; version 2: more details added and presentation improved,
