Standard smooth of free Kaehler differentials #
In this file we show a presentation independent characterization of being
standard smooth: An R-algebra S of finite presentation is standard smooth if and only if
H¹(S/R) = 0 and Ω[S⁄R] is free on {d sᵢ}ᵢ for some sᵢ : S.
From this we deduce relations of standard smooth with other local properties.

Notes #
For an example of an algebra with H¹(S/R) = 0 and Ω[S⁄R] finite and free, but
S not standard smooth over R, consider R = ℝ and S = R[x,y]/(x² + y² - 1) the
coordinate ring of the circle. One can show that then Ω[S⁄R] is S-free on ω = xdy - ydx,
but there are no f g : S such that ω = g df.
TODOs #
- Deduce from this that smooth is equivalent to locally standard smooth (TODO @chrisflav).
If H¹(S/R) = 0 and Ω[S⁄R] is free on {d sᵢ}ᵢ for some sᵢ : S, then S
is R-standard smooth.
