Proposition 64.13.1. Let $X$ be a projective curve over a field $k$, $\Lambda $ a finite ring and $K\in D_{ctf}(X, \Lambda )$. Then $R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K)\in D_{perf}(\Lambda )$.
64.13 Cohomology of nice complexes
The following is a special case of a more general result about compactly supported cohomology of objects of $D_{ctf}(X, \Lambda )$.
Sketch of proof.. The first step is to show:
The cohomology of $R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K)$ is bounded.
Consider the spectral sequence
\[ H^ i(X_{\bar k}, \underline H^ j(K)) \Rightarrow H^{i+j} (R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K)). \]
Since $K$ is bounded and $\Lambda $ is finite, the sheaves $\underline H^ j(K)$ are torsion. Moreover, $X_{\bar k}$ has finite cohomological dimension, so the left-hand side is nonzero for finitely many $i$ and $j$ only. Therefore, so is the right-hand side.
The cohomology groups $H^{i+j} (R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K))$ are finite.
Since the sheaves $\underline H^ j(K)$ are constructible, the groups $H^ i(X_{\bar k}, \underline H^ j(K))$ are finite (Étale Cohomology, Section 59.83) so it follows by the spectral sequence again.
$R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K)$ has finite $\text{Tor}$-dimension.
Let $N$ be a right $\Lambda $-module (in fact, since $\Lambda $ is finite, it suffices to assume that $N$ is finite). By the projection formula (change of module),
\[ N \otimes ^\mathbf {L}_\Lambda R \Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K) = R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, N \otimes ^\mathbf {L}_\Lambda K). \]
Therefore,
\[ H^ i (N \otimes ^\mathbf {L}_\Lambda R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K)) = H^ i(R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, N \otimes _{\Lambda }^\mathbf {L} K)). \]
Now consider the spectral sequence
\[ H^ i (X_{\bar k}, \underline H^ j (N \otimes _{\Lambda }^\mathbf {L} K)) \Rightarrow H^{i+j}(R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, N \otimes _{\Lambda }^\mathbf {L} K)). \]
Since $K$ has finite $\text{Tor}$-dimension, $\underline H^ j (N \otimes _{\Lambda }^\mathbf {L} K)$ vanishes universally for $j$ small enough, and the left-hand side vanishes whenever $i < 0$. Therefore $R\Gamma (X_{\bar k}, K)$ has finite $\text{Tor}$-dimension, as claimed. So it is a perfect complex by Lemma 64.12.2. $\square$
