It is well-known that for the sphere spectrum $S$ in the ('topological') stable homotopy category the object $S/2S$ i.e. the cone of $S\stackrel{\times 2}{\to}S$, is not $2$-torsion.
So I wonder where there exists an object $X$ in a (topological?) triangulated category such that
$2End(X/2X)\neq 0$.
$End(X,X)$ is torsion ($\cong \mathbb{Z}/4 \mathbb{Z}$?).
$Hom(X,X[i])=0$ for any $i\neq 0$ (or at least for 'small' $i$).
I would be grateful for any hints or references concerning this question! I believe that I have proved that condition 3 contradicts 2 if $End(X,X)\cong \mathbb{Z}$ (since in this case the triangulated subcategory 'strongly' generated by $X$ is isomorphic to $K^b(B)$, where $B$ is the category of finitely generated free $\mathbb{Z}$-modules); yet I cannot prove anything like that if condition 2 is fulfilled.
