Definition

In the generality of higher algebra:

Definition

Let RR be an A-∞ ring. Write RMod perf↪RModR Mod^{perf} \hookrightarrow R Mod for the smallest stable (∞,1)-category inside that of all ∞-modules which contains RR and is closed under retracts. An object in RMod perfR Mod^{perf} is called a perfect RR-module .

(HA, def. 8.2.5.1)

Properties

Relation to compact and dualizable objects

The first statement is (HA, prop. 8.2.5.2), the second (HA, prop. 8.2.5.4). For perfect chain complexes this also appears as (BFN 08, lemma 3.5).
