A perfect complex is a concept from algebraic geometry and commutative algebra that generalizes the notion of a sheaf. It is particularly useful in the context of derived categories and homological algebra. In simple terms, a perfect complex is a bounded complex of locally free sheaves (or vector bundles) over a scheme (or more generally, a topological space) that is quasi-isomorphic to a finite direct sum of finite projective modules.
