Aug 18, 2011 at 19:43 comment added the L If a ring $A$ admits a dualizing complex, and $A \to B$ is smooth of relative dimension $n$, then you can obtain a dualizing complex on $B$ by tensoring with $\Omega^n_{B/A}$.
Aug 18, 2011 at 19:04 comment added Karl Schwede Grothendieck duality and base change I think is the title.
Aug 18, 2011 at 18:38 comment added Descartes Ah, and which book by Conrad?
Aug 18, 2011 at 18:37 comment added Descartes Very fine comment, ulrich; thanks a lot!
Aug 18, 2011 at 17:28 comment added naf Another reference is the book "Introduction to Grothendieck duality theory" by Altman and Kleiman.
Aug 18, 2011 at 16:34 comment added Karl Schwede Or you can see Residues and Duality. I should also point out that such statements should even be fine for smooth morphisms to things that aren't fields (probably Gorenstein local ring is ok, again see Residues or Brian Conrad's book) Finally, lets say that $X$ is normal (you can get away with a lot less, but lets assume this), then the reflexification/S2-ifiction of $\Omega_X^{n}$ is the dualizing sheaf.
Aug 18, 2011 at 16:30 comment added naf Yes, this is true for a smooth projective variety over any field. It should be possible to rewrite Hartshorne's proofs to work in this case.
