Abstract
Résumé

It is proved that a noetherian commutative local ring A containing a field is regular if there is a complex M of free A-modules with the following properties: $M_{i} = 0$ for $i \notin [0, \dim A]$ ; the homology of M has finite length; $H_{0} (M)$ contains the residue field of A as a direct summand. This result is an essential component in the proofs of the McKay correspondence in dimension 3 and of the statement that threefold flops induce equivalences of derived categories.

On démontre qu'un anneau local noethérien commutatif A contenant un corps est régulier s'il existe un complexe M de A-modules libres avec les propriétés suivantes : $M_{i} = 0$ pour $i \notin [0, \dim A]$ ; l'homologie de M est de longueur finie ; $H_{0} (M)$ contient le corps résiduel de A en tant que facteur direct. Ce résultat est une composante essentielle dans les démonstrations de la correspondance de McKay en dimension 3 et du fait que les flops de dimension trois induisent des équivalences de catégories dérivées.
