A pre-$(n+2)$-angulated category which is not $(n+2)$-angulated
Abstract
We construct an explicit pre-$9$-angulated category which is not $9$-angulated, thereby giving a genuinely higher counterexample to the implication from pre-$(n+2)$-angulated to $(n+2)$-angulated. The underlying additive category is the category of finitely generated projective right modules over the preprojective algebra $\Pi(A_5)$ over $\mathbb F_2$. The construction is obtained by taking an odd power of the twisted complete comparison used by Chen-Liu-Lu-Zhang in their pre-triangulated counterexample and by showing that the resulting pre-$9$-angulation fails the higher mapping-cone axiom.
