Abstract

The local structure of homomorphisms of commutative noetherian rings is investigated from the point of view of dualizing complexes. A concept of finite Gorenstein dimension, which substantially weakens the notion of finite flat dimension, is introduced for homomorphisms. It is shown to impose structural constraints, due to a remarkable equivalence of subcategories of the derived category of all modules.

An essential part of this study is the development of relative notions of dualizing complexes and Bass numbers. It is proved that the Bass numbers of local homomorphisms are rigid, extending a known result for local rings. Quasi-Gorenstein homomorphisms are introduced as local homomorphisms that base-change a dualizing complex for the source ring into one for the target. They are shown to have the stability properties of the Gorenstein homomorphism that they generalize.
