Lemma 15.74.3. Let M be a module over a ring R. The following are equivalent
M is a perfect module, and
there exists a resolution
with each F_ i a finite projective R-module.
Proof. Assume (2). Then the complex E^\bullet with E^{-i} = F_ i is quasi-isomorphic to M[0]. Hence M is perfect. Conversely, assume (1). By Lemmas 15.74.2 and 15.64.4 we can find resolution E^\bullet \to M with E^{-i} a finite free R-module. By Lemma 15.66.2 we see that F_ d = \mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(E^{d - 1} \to E^ d) is flat for some d sufficiently large. By Algebra, Lemma 10.78.2 we see that F_ d is finite projective. Hence
is the desired resolution. \square
