Proposition 9.45. An -module is in the full subcategory spanned by the local objects if and only if in . Similarly, a map of -modules is a local equivalence if and only if the cofiber of lies in the essential image of .
Proof. The first claim follows from the fact that if and only if for all -modules , . In turn, this holds if and only if for any map of -modules with cofiber of the form ,
The second claim follows from the fact that, if the cofiber of lies in the essential image of , then for any local object , . β
