Abstract

Let kGkG be the group algebra of a finite group scheme defined over a field kk of characteristic p>0p>0. Associated to any closed subset VV of the projectivized prime ideal spectrum ProjH(G,k)\operatorname{Proj} \operatorname{H}^*(G,k) is a thick tensor ideal subcategory of the stable category of finitely generated kGkG-module, whose closure under arbitrary direct sums is a localizing tensor ideal in the stable category of all kGkG-modules. The colocalizing functor from the big stable category to this localizing subcategory is given by tensoring with an idempotent module E\mathcal{E}. A property of the idempotent module is that its restriction along any flat map α:k[t]/(tp)kG\alpha:k[t]/(t^p) \to kG is a compact object. For any kGkG-module MM, we define its locus of compactness in terms of such restrictions. With some added hypothesis, in the case that VV is a closed point, for a kGkG-module MM, we show that in the stable category Hom(E,M)\operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal{E}, M) is finitely generated over the endomorphism ring of E\mathcal{E}, provided the restriction along an associated flat map is a compact object. This leads to a notion of local supports. We prove some of its properties and give a realization theorem.
