Abstract: The ghost number of a group algebra is an invariant measuring the degree to the failure of generating hypothesis in stable module category. Determining the exact value of the ghost number is hard in all but the simplest cases. We proved that the ghost number of the quaternion group, which has tame  representation type, is three.In this talk, I will explain the main ideas of the proof. This is a joint work with David J. Green.
