Locally dualizable modules abound

Abstract

It is proved that given any prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of height at least 2 in a countable commutative noetherian ring $A$, there are uncountably many more dualizable objects in the $\mathfrak{p}$-local $\mathfrak{p}$-torsion stratum of the derived category of $A$ than those that are obtained as retracts of images of perfect $A$-complexes. An analogous result is established dealing with the stable module category of the group algebra, over a countable field of positive characteristic $p$, of an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank at least 3.
