Quillen-Suslin Theorem for connected cochain DG algebras

Rings and Algebras 2025-09-19 v2

Abstract

Let A\mathscr{A} be a connected cochain DG algebra and PP a DG A\mathscr{A}-module such that its underlying graded module P#P^{\#} is a finitely generated A#\mathscr{A}^{\#}-module. We show that PP is semi-free if it is semi-projective and it is categorically free if it is categorically projective. It can be considered as a generalization of the well-known Quillen-Suslin Theorem in DG context. As an application, we show that the ghost length and the cone length of a compact DG module coincide.
