Lemma 47.23.2. Let A be a Noetherian local ring. If A has a dualizing complex, then the formal fibres of A are Gorenstein.
Proof. Let \mathfrak p be a prime of A. The formal fibre of A at \mathfrak p is isomorphic to the formal fibre of A/\mathfrak p at (0). The quotient A/\mathfrak p has a dualizing complex (Lemma 47.15.9). Thus it suffices to check the statement when A is a local domain and \mathfrak p = (0). Let \omega _ A^\bullet be a dualizing complex for A. Then \omega _ A^\bullet \otimes _ A A^\wedge is a dualizing complex for the completion A^\wedge (Lemma 47.22.1). Then \omega _ A^\bullet \otimes _ A K is a dualizing complex for the fraction field K of A (Lemma 47.15.6). Hence \omega _ A^\bullet \otimes _ A K is isomorphic to K[n] for some n \in \mathbf{Z}. Similarly, we conclude a dualizing complex for the formal fibre A^\wedge \otimes _ A K is
as desired. \square
