Homotopy categories and idempotent completeness, weight structures and   weight complex functors
  This article provides some basic results on weight structures, weight complex functors and homotopy categories. We prove that the full subcategories K(A)^{w < n}, K(A)^{w > n}, K(A)^- and K(A)^+ (of objects isomorphic to suitably bounded complexes) of the homotopy category K(A) of an additive category A are idempotent complete, which confirms that (K(A)^{w <= 0}, K(A)^{w >= 0}) is a weight structure on K(A). We discuss weight complex functors and provide full details of an argument sketched by M. Bondarko, which shows that if w is a bounded weight structure on a triangulated category T that has a filtered triangulated enhancement T' then there exists a strong weight complex functor T -> K(heart(w))^{anti}. Surprisingly, in order to carry out the proof, we need to impose an additional axiom on the filtered triangulated category T' which seems to be new.
