Formal lifting of dualizing complexes and consequences

Commutative Algebra 2025-08-13 v2

Abstract

We show that for a Noetherian ring AA that is II-adically complete for an ideal II, if A/IA/I admits a dualizing complex, so does AA. This gives an alternative proof of the fact that a Noetherian complete local ring admits a dualizing complex. We discuss several consequences of this result. We also consider a generalization of the notion of dualizing complexes to infinite-dimensional rings and prove the results in this generality. In addition, we give an alternative proof of the fact that every excellent Henselian local ring admits a dualizing complex, using ultrapower.
