Lemma 48.22.3. Let X be a connected Noetherian scheme and let \omega _ X be a dualizing module on X. The support of \omega _ X is the union of the irreducible components of maximal dimension with respect to any dimension function and \omega _ X is a coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module having property (S_2).
Proof. By our conventions discussed above there exists a dualizing complex \omega _ X^\bullet such that \omega _ X is the leftmost nonvanishing cohomology sheaf. Since X is connected, any two dimension functions differ by a constant (Topology, Lemma 5.20.3). Hence we may use the dimension function associated to \omega _ X^\bullet (Lemma 48.2.7). With these remarks in place, the lemma now follows from Dualizing Complexes, Lemma 47.17.5 and the definitions (in particular Cohomology of Schemes, Definition 30.11.1). \square
