Abstract: If A is a finite dimensional algebra, and D(A) the unbounded
derived category of the full module category Mod-A, then it is
straightforward to see that D(A) is generated (as a "localizing
subcategory") by the indecomposable projectives, and by the simple 
modules. It is not so obvious whether it is generated by the 
indecomposable injectives. In 2001, Keller gave a talk in which he 
remarked that"injectives generate" would imply several of the well-known
homological conjectures, such as the Nunke condition and hence the 
generalized Nakayama
conjecture, and asked if there was any relation to the finitistic 
dimension conjecture. I'll show that an algebra that satisfies "injectives 
generate" also satisfies the finitistic dimension conjecture and discuss 
some examples. I'll present things in a fairly concrete way, so most of 
the talk won't assume much knowledge of derived categories.
