Amplitude inequalities for Differential Graded modules

Abstract The amplitude of a Differential Graded module M is defined in terms of its homology H(M) by ampM = sup{i | H i (M) ≠ 0} – inf{i | H i (M) ≠ 0}. The main result of this paper is that if R is a sufficiently nice local chain Differential Graded algebra with amp R < ∞, then each compact Differential Graded R-module M with non-zero homology satisfies amp M ≥ amp R.
