The Q-shaped derived category of a ring -- compact and perfect objects

Abstract: In a previous work we constructed the

Q

-shaped derived category of any ring

A

for any suitably nice category

Q

. The

Q

-shaped derived category of

A

, which is denoted by

m a t h c a l D_{Q} (A)

, is a generalization of the ordinary derived category. In this paper we prove that the

Q

-shaped derived category of

A

is a compactly generated triangulated category. We also define perfect objects in

m a t h c a l D_{Q} (A)

and prove that these constitute a triangulated subcategory,

m a t h c a l D^{m} a t h r m {p e r f}_{Q} (A)

, of the category

m a t h c a l D_{Q} (A)^{m} a t h r m c

of compact objects in the

Q

-shaped derived category. The subcategories

m a t h c a l D^{m} a t h r m {p e r f}_{Q} (A)

and

m a t h c a l D_{Q} (A)^{m} a t h r m c

coincide if and only if the former is thick.
