contents We study the derived category of pseudo-coherent complexes over a noetherian commutative ring, building on prior work by Matsui-Takahashi. Our main theorem is a computation of the Balmer spectrum of this category in the case of a discrete valuation ring. We prove that it coincides with the spectral space associated to a bounded distributive lattice of asymptotic equivalence classes of monotonic sequences of natural numbers. The proof of this theorem involves an extensive study of generation behaviour in the derived category of pseudo-coherent complexes. We find that different types of generation are related to different asymptotic boundedness conditions on the growth of torsion in homology. Consequently, we introduce certain distributive lattices of (equivalence classes of) monotonic sequences where the partial orders are defined by different notions of asymptotic boundedness. These lattices, and the spectral spaces corresponding to them via Stone duality, may be of independent interest. The complexity of these spectral spaces shows that, even in the simplest nontrivial case, the spectrum of pseudo-coherent complexes is vastly more complicated than the spectrum of perfect complexes. From a broader perspective, these results demonstrate that the spectrum of a rigid tensor-triangulated category can expand tremendously when we pass to a (non-rigid) tensor-triangulated category which contains it.
