The stable category of Gorenstein flat sheaves on a noetherian scheme

Abstract

For a semi-separated noetherian scheme, we show that the category of cotorsion Gorenstein flat quasi-coherent sheaves is Frobenius and a natural non-affine analogue of the category of Gorenstein projective modules over a noetherian ring. We show that this coheres perfectly with the work of Murfet and Salarian that identifies the pure derived category of F-totally acyclic complexes of flat quasi-coherent sheaves as the natural non-affine analogue of the homotopy category of totally acyclic complexes of projective modules.
