Lemma 36.11.3. Let S be a Noetherian scheme. Let f : X \to S be a morphism of schemes which is locally of finite type. Let E be an object of D^ b_{\textit{Coh}}(\mathcal{O}_ X) such that the support of H^ i(E) is proper over S for all i. Then Rf_*E is an object of D^ b_{\textit{Coh}}(\mathcal{O}_ S).
Proof. Consider the spectral sequence
R^ pf_*H^ q(E) \Rightarrow R^{p + q}f_*E
see Derived Categories, Lemma 13.21.3. By assumption and Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.26.10 the sheaves R^ pf_*H^ q(E) are coherent. Hence R^{p + q}f_*E is coherent, i.e., Rf_*E \in D_{\textit{Coh}}(\mathcal{O}_ S). Boundedness from below is trivial. Boundedness from above follows from Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.4.5 or from Lemma 36.4.1. \square
