Proof. First, note that the free module , which is the monoidal unit, is clearly compact. Hence all dualizable objects are compact. Moreover, we can write any object as a colimit of free modules. For compact, the identity map has to factor through a finite colimit, showing that is perfect. Finally, perfect modules are dualizable since we can explicitly exhibit their dual as a finite limit of free modules. ∎
