Abstract
Let be a noetherian local commutative ring and let M be a suitable complex of A-modules. It is proved that M is a dualizing complex for A if and only if the trivial extension A \ltimes M is a Gorenstein differential graded algebra. As a corollary, A has a dualizing complex if and only if it is a quotient of a Gorenstein local differential graded algebra.
