Abstract

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by $D^{-} (R)$ the derived category of cochain complexes $X$ of finitely generated $R$ -modules with $H^{i} (X) = 0$ for $i ≫ 0$ . Then $D^{-} (R)$ has the structure of a tensor triangulated category with tensor product $\cdot \otimes_{R}^{L} \cdot$ and unit object $R$ . In this paper, we study thick tensor ideals of $D^{-} (R)$ , i.e., thick subcategories closed under the tensor action by each object in $D^{-} (R)$ , and investigate the Balmer spectrum $Spc D^{-} (R)$ of $D^{-} (R)$ , i.e., the set of prime thick tensor ideals of $D^{-} (R)$ . First, we give a complete classification of the thick tensor ideals of $D^{-} (R)$ generated by bounded complexes, establishing a generalized version of the Hopkins–Neeman smash nilpotence theorem. Then, we define a pair of maps between the Balmer spectrum $Spc D^{-} (R)$ and the Zariski spectrum $Spec R$ , and study their topological properties. After that, we compare several classes of thick tensor ideals of $D^{-} (R)$ , relating them to specialization-closed subsets of $Spec R$ and Thomason subsets of $Spc D^{-} (R)$ , and construct a counterexample to a conjecture of Balmer. Finally, we explore thick tensor ideals of $D^{-} (R)$ in the case where $R$ is a discrete valuation ring.
