Lemma 21.23.11. Let $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{O})$ be a ringed site. Let $K$ be an object of $D(\mathcal{O})$. Let $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathop{\mathrm{Ob}}\nolimits (\mathcal{C})$ be a subset. Assume

1. every object of $\mathcal{C}$ has a covering whose members are elements of $\mathcal{B}$,

2. $H^ p(U, H^ q(K)) = 0$ for all $p > 0$, $q \in \mathbf{Z}$, and $U \in \mathcal{B}$.

Then $H^ q(U, K) = H^0(U, H^ q(K))$ for $q \in \mathbf{Z}$ and $U \in \mathcal{B}$.

Proof. Observe that $K = R\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits \tau _{\geq -n} K$ by Lemma 21.23.10 with $d = 0$. Let $U \in \mathcal{B}$. By Equation (21.23.4.1) we get a short exact sequence

$0 \to R^1\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits H^{q - 1}(U, \tau _{\geq -n}K) \to H^ q(U, K) \to \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits H^ q(U, \tau _{\geq -n}K) \to 0$

Condition (2) implies $H^ q(U, \tau _{\geq -n} K) = H^0(U, H^ q(\tau _{\geq -n} K))$ for all $q$ by using the spectral sequence of Derived Categories, Lemma 13.21.3. The spectral sequence converges because $\tau _{\geq -n}K$ is bounded below. If $n > -q$ then we have $H^ q(\tau _{\geq -n}K) = H^ q(K)$. Thus the systems on the left and the right of the displayed short exact sequence are eventually constant with values $H^0(U, H^{q - 1}(K))$ and $H^0(U, H^ q(K))$ and the lemma follows. $\square$
