Existence of balanced dualizing dg-modules

Abstract

We describe cohomological conditions that are necessary and sufficient for the existence of balanced dualizing dg-modules, generalizing a theorem of Van den Bergh for balanced dualizing complexes over graded algebras. As a consequence, we show that a dg-algebra satisfying certain finiteness conditions admits a balanced dualizing dg-module if and only if its zeroth cohomology algebra admits a balanced dualizing complex. Additionally, we obtain a host of new examples of dg-algebras whose associated noncommutative spaces satisfy Serre duality.
