Lemma 47.12.1. Let A be a ring and let I be a finitely generated ideal. Let R\Gamma _ Z be as in Lemma 47.9.1. Let {\ }^\wedge denote derived completion as in More on Algebra, Lemma 15.91.10. For an object K in D(A) we have

R\Gamma _ Z(K^\wedge ) = R\Gamma _ Z(K) \quad \text{and}\quad (R\Gamma _ Z(K))^\wedge = K^\wedge

in D(A).

Proof. Choose f_1, \ldots , f_ r \in A generating I. Recall that

K^\wedge = R\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ A\left((A \to \prod A_{f_{i_0}} \to \prod A_{f_{i_0i_1}} \to \ldots \to A_{f_1 \ldots f_ r}), K\right)

by More on Algebra, Lemma 15.91.10. Hence the cone C = \text{Cone}(K \to K^\wedge ) is given by

R\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ A\left((\prod A_{f_{i_0}} \to \prod A_{f_{i_0i_1}} \to \ldots \to A_{f_1 \ldots f_ r}), K\right)

which can be represented by a complex endowed with a finite filtration whose successive quotients are isomorphic to

R\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ A(A_{f_{i_0} \ldots f_{i_ p}}, K), \quad p > 0

These complexes vanish on applying R\Gamma _ Z, see Lemma 47.9.4. Applying R\Gamma _ Z to the distinguished triangle K \to K^\wedge \to C \to K[1] we see that the first formula of the lemma is correct.

Recall that

R\Gamma _ Z(K) = K \otimes ^\mathbf {L} (A \to \prod A_{f_{i_0}} \to \prod A_{f_{i_0i_1}} \to \ldots \to A_{f_1 \ldots f_ r})

by Lemma 47.9.1. Hence the cone C = \text{Cone}(R\Gamma _ Z(K) \to K) can be represented by a complex endowed with a finite filtration whose successive quotients are isomorphic to

K \otimes _ A A_{f_{i_0} \ldots f_{i_ p}}, \quad p > 0

These complexes vanish on applying {\ }^\wedge , see More on Algebra, Lemma 15.91.12. Applying derived completion to the distinguished triangle R\Gamma _ Z(K) \to K \to C \to R\Gamma _ Z(K)[1] we see that the second formula of the lemma is correct. \square
