Lemma 36.10.3. Let X be a Noetherian scheme. Let E be an object of D_\mathit{QCoh}(\mathcal{O}_ X). For m \in \mathbf{Z} the following are equivalent
H^ i(E) is coherent for i \geq m and zero for i \gg 0, and
E is m-pseudo-coherent.
In particular, E is pseudo-coherent if and only if E is an object of D^-_{\textit{Coh}}(\mathcal{O}_ X).
Proof.
As X is quasi-compact we see that in both (1) and (2) the object E is bounded above. Thus the question is local on X and we may assume X is affine. Say X = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) for some Noetherian ring A. In this case E corresponds to a complex of A-modules M^\bullet by Lemma 36.3.5. By Lemma 36.10.2 we see that E is m-pseudo-coherent if and only if M^\bullet is m-pseudo-coherent. On the other hand, H^ i(E) is coherent if and only if H^ i(M^\bullet ) is a finite A-module (Properties, Lemma 28.16.1). Thus the result follows from More on Algebra, Lemma 15.64.17.
