Does Grothendieck duality hold without taking RHom?

I asked this very basic question about Grothendieck Duality on the Stack--exchange some time ago, without any replies. I'm therefore asking the question here to test my luck. Let $f:X\to Y$ be a ...

Confusion about the (Grothendieck–Poincaré) double dual of reflexive differentials vs usual differentials on a normal Cohen–Macaulay scheme

$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}$Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category, my question is about the case when $\mathcal{A}$ is the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme $X$. There is a fully ...

Characterization of schemes whose dualizing complex is perfect

I'm wondering if there is a characterization of schemes over a a field $k$ whose dualizing complex is a perfect complex in terms of singularities. E.g. on a proper Cohen-Macauley scheme over a field, ...

Grothendieck-Verdier duality without the noetherian condition

The Grothendieck-Verdier duality: $$ Rf_*\big(R\mathcal{H}\textit{om}_X^\bullet(\mathcal{E}^\bullet,f^!\mathcal{F}^\bullet)\big) \cong R\mathcal{H}\textit{om}^\bullet_Y(Rf_*\mathcal{E}^\bullet,\...

Serre functors for non-proper categories

One usually defines a Serre functor to be a functor on a $k$-linear category $\mathcal{C}$ which has finite dimensional $Hom$s over $k$. In that case, the standard definition is that a Serre functor $...

Grothendieck duality for resolution of singularities

I would like to know a reference for Grothendieck duality in a resolution of singularities. More precisely, let $Y$ be a normal, Gorenstein variety with finite quotient singularities, and suppose that ...

Grothendieck-Verdier duality for affine morphisms

Suppose $X,Y$ are varieties over $\mathbb{C}$, $Y$ is smooth and $X$ is Gorenstein ($X$ is not smooth in my case). Let $f: X \to Y$ be an affine morphism, and each fibre of $f$ has the same dimension $...

Do copairings provide dualities in derived categories?

Here is an elementary fact about vector spaces. Let $V,W$ be vector spaces over a field $\mathbb K$ and let $c : \mathbb K \to V \otimes W$ be an element of the tensor product. Then $c$ determines ...

Does GKZ's reflexivity theorem imply the Plucker formula?

Let $S\subset\mathbb{P}^n$, Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky defined its dual variety $S^\vee\subset\mathbb{P}^{n^\ast}$. In this paper (http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0111179v1.pdf), the author obtained the ...
