Regular differentials inside rational differentials #
On an integral scheme over Spec R, a differential section has a rational value in
Ω[k(X)⁄R]: take its generic germ and use the stalk comparison for relative differentials.
The value of d a is d of the rational function represented by a, and rational values
commute with restriction to nonempty open subsets.
If the differential sheaf is invertible, these maps are injective. Moreover, a rational differential is regular on an open subset precisely when it comes from the differential stalk at every point of that subset. In particular these results apply to schemes smooth of relative dimension one, over an arbitrary commutative base ring. This realizes the differential line bundle as local lattices in its rational differential space, the input to comparing it with a divisor sheaf and with the canonical bundle defined using Weil differentials.

Passing from a differential section through any stalk gives its rational value.

A differential section is determined by its rational value when the differential sheaf is invertible, in particular on a scheme smooth of relative dimension one.
A differential section with zero rational value is zero when the differential sheaf is invertible.
A rational differential is regular on a nonempty open subset exactly when it comes from all the differential stalks there, provided the differential sheaf is invertible.
