Quasiexcellence implies strong generation

Abstract

Abstract We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a quasicompact separated quasiexcellent scheme of finite dimension has a strong generator in the sense of Bondal–Van den Bergh. This simultaneously extends two results of Iyengar–Takahashi and Neeman and is new even in the affine case. The main ingredient includes Gabber’s weak local uniformization theorem and the notions of boundedness and descendability of a morphism of schemes.
