This paper defines ghost modules and explores properties of torsion and torsion-free classes in Dynkin quivers.
Ghost modules were introduced in [I3] without definitions or proofs. We also introduced stability diagrams or "relative pictures" for torsion classes and torsion-free classes for representations of Dynkin quivers. Modules which were not in the chosen class reappeared as "ghosts", in fact one missing module produced two ghosts. In this short paper, we give a precise definition of ghost modules. We give several examples and prove basic properties of ghosts and pictures for torsion and torsion-free classes. We also introduce a third kind of ghost which we call "extension ghosts". In the next paper we will explain how these new ghosts can be used to visualize the computation of other invariants of K₃ of group rings.
