Abstract

Let RR be a noetherian commutative ring, and F:...F2F1F00 \mathbb F: ...\rightarrow F_2\rightarrow F_1\rightarrow F_0\rightarrow 0 a complex of flat RR-modules. We prove that if κ(p)RF\kappa(\mathfrak p)\otimes_R\mathbb F is acyclic for every p\SpecR\mathfrak p\in\Spec R, then F\mathbb F is acyclic, and H0(F)H_0(\mathbb F) is RR-flat. It follows that if F\mathbb F is a (possibly unbounded) complex of flat RR-modules and κ(p)RF\kappa(\mathfrak p)\otimes_R \mathbb F is exact for every p\SpecR\mathfrak p\in\Spec R, then GRF\mathbb G\otimes_R^\bullet\mathbb F is exact for every RR-complex G\mathbb G. If, moreover, F\mathbb F is a complex of projective RR-modules, then it is null-homotopic (follows from Neeman's theorem).
