Approximable Triangulated Categories and Reflexive DG-categories

Abstract We use the theory of approximable triangulated categories to give a condition for a proper DG-category to be reflexive in the sense of Kuznetsov and Shinder. To do this we provide another description of the completion of an approximable triangulated category under a properness assumption. We apply our results to proper schemes, proper connective DG-algebras and Azumaya algebras over proper schemes. We include an appendix by Raedschelders and Stevenson showing that proper connective DG-algebras admit finite dimensional models over any field.
