Sep 5, 2013 at 14:33 comment added Tommaso Centeleghe @Marguaux: I decided to ask on MO the original question I had, which motivates the one asked here. Here is the link: mathoverflow.net/questions/141340/…
Sep 4, 2013 at 18:55 comment added Marguax @Filippo: My main point was that it is probably "wrong" to ask for a projective $X$ if $R$ isn't Gorenstein, and that the correct context for the question is that of the appropriate derived category. (I am dubious that a projective $X$ can work when $R$ isn't Gorenstein, but haven't tried to make a proof.) Since we don't know the actual motivating application, it is impossible to judge what is really appropriate to do.
Sep 4, 2013 at 16:31 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo @ Marguaux: By the way, as you say $X$ would be (concentrated in degree $0$ and) projective iff $R$ is Gorenstein. But Tommaso insisted that $X\in\mathcal{M}$ so I think he wants it to be projective. Doesn't it somehow forces $R$ to be Gorenstein? Of course, it depends if satisfying duality for all modules in $\mathcal{M}$ is equivalent to being the dualizing module, which I ignore.
Sep 4, 2013 at 16:21 comment added Tommaso Centeleghe Thanks for the nice answer and for giving my question some more appropriate context (I got the question from looking at subgroups of ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field. In the situation I had in mind R is Z[\pi], where \pi is an ordinary Weil-number).
Sep 4, 2013 at 15:14 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo Marguaux: Ok, then I agree. I thought you were claiming something special about the quadratic case.
Sep 4, 2013 at 13:05 comment added Marguax @Filippo: Completion commutes in an evident manner with module-finite algebras, and beyond the quadratic case there will be tons of non-monogenic orders (so one cannot make a uniform claim of the Gorenstein property based just on degree beyond the quadratic case).
Sep 4, 2013 at 8:55 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo Nice answer, but I don't follow completely the argument for the quadratic case being Gorenstein. I guess you want to use that if $R$ becomes Gorenstein after completion, it was already so: but you are completing at any prime of $\mathcal{O}_{K_0}$, right? Then you use that $\mathcal{O}_{K_0}$ is a DVR and hence any monogenic extension of it is still such; but in the local case not only quadratic ones are monogenic, and also I do not understand how to go back to $R$.
