Abstract We disprove two (unpublished) conjectures of Kontsevich which state generalized versions of categorical Hodge-to-de Rham degeneration for smooth and for proper DG categories (but not smooth and proper, in which case degeneration is proved by Kaledin (in: Algebra, geometry, and physics in the 21st century. Birkhäuser/Springer, Cham, pp 99–129, 2017). In particular, we show that there exists a minimal 10-dimensional A∞ -algebra over a field of characteristic zero, for which the supertrace of μ3 on the second argument is non-zero. As a byproduct, we obtain an example of a homotopically finitely presented DG category (over a field of characteristic zero) that does not have a smooth categorical compactification, giving a negative answer to a question of Toën. This can be interpreted as a lack of resolution of singularities in the noncommutative setup. We also obtain an example of a proper DG category which does not admit a categorical resolution of singularities in the terminology of Kuznetsov and Lunts (Int Math Res Not 2015(13):4536–4625, 2015) (that is, it cannot be embedded into a smooth and proper DG category).

0 Introduction Given a smooth algebraic variety X over a field of characteristic zero, we have p,q p p+q the Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence E 1 = H q (X,  X ) ⇒ H D R (X ). It is classically known that when X is additionally proper, this spectral sequence degenerates at E 1 , that is, all differentials vanish. This follows from the classical Hodge theory for compact Kähler manifolds, and can be also proved algebraically [3]. We recall the following fundamental re
