Locally dualisable modular representations and local regularity

This work concerns the stable module category of a finite group over a field of characteristic dividing the group order. The minimal localising tensor ideals correspond to the non-maximal homogeneous prime ideals in the cohomology ring of the group. Given such a prime ideal, a number of characterisations of the dualisable objects in the corresponding tensor ideal are given. One characterisation of interest is that they are exactly the modules whose restriction along a corresponding $\pi$-point are finite dimensional plus projective. A key insight is the identification of a special property of the stable module category that controls the cohomological behaviour of local dualisable objects. This property, introduced in this work for general triangulated categories and called local regularity, is related to strong generation. A major part of the paper is devoted to developing this notion and investigating its ramifications for various special classes of objects in tensor triangulated categories.
