The rank of the sheaf of relative differentials #

For a scheme X smooth of relative dimension n over Spec R, the sheaf of relative differentials Ω_{X/R} is finite locally free of rank n at every point. Around each point, X has an affine open W whose ring of functions is a standard smooth R-algebra of relative dimension n, so that its module of Kähler differentials is free of rank n; on W the sheaf Ω_{X/R} is the sheaf associated with that module.

When X is smooth of relative dimension one over Spec R, as a smooth curve over a field is, Ω_{X/R} is therefore an invertible sheaf.
