Abstract: We use the anti-equivalence between Cohen-Macaulay complexes and coherent sheaves on formal schemes to shed light on some older results and prove new results. We bring out the relations between a coherent sheaf M satisfying an S_2 condition and the lowest cohomology N of its "dual" complex. We show that if a scheme has a Gorenstein complex satisfying certain coherence conditions, then in a finite 'etale neighborhood of each point, it has a dualizing complex. If the scheme already has a dualizing complex, then we show that the Gorenstein complex must be a tensor product of a dualizing complex and a vector bundle of finite rank. We relate the various results in [S] on Cousin complexes to dual results on coherent sheaves on formal schemes.


Let \(X\) be a noetherian scheme with codimension function \(\Delta\) and \(\mathcal R\) a residual complex on \(X\). The authors construct an anti-equivalence functor from the category of all the coherent \(\mathcal O_X\)-modules satisfying \((S_2)\)-condition to itself. They use this anti-equivalence to refine the theory of Gorenstein modules [\textit{R. Fossum, H.-B. Foxby, P. Griffith} and \textit{I. Reiten}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 45, 193--215 (1975; Zbl 0321.13013)]. They also define a new pseudofunctor \((-)^{(\#)}\) and study the relation between \((-)^{(\#)}\) and \((-)^{(!)}\), which was defined by the second author [in: Variance and duality for Cousin complexes on formal schemes. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). Contemp. Math. 375, 137--192 (2005; Zbl 1080.14007)].
