In stable homotopy theory/cohomology theory a homomorphism of spectra is called a phantom map if it induces (up to homotopy) the zero morphism on generalized homology theories , hence if for every topological space/homotopy type the induced map of homology groups
is the zero morphism.
The existence of phantom maps implies that despite the Brown representability theorem, there is a subtle difference between generalized (Eilenberg-Steenrod) homology theories and the spectra which represent them: the latter contain in general more information. (Note that this issue is not present when working with cohomology theories instead of homology theories).
In even more classical context, a continuous map from a CW-complex to a topological space is a phantom map if it is not homotopic to a constant but for every finite CW-subcomplex the restriction is homotopic to a constant.
Between Landweber exact spectra, every phantom map is already null-homotopic. (e.g. Lurie, 10, corollary 7).
