Stalks of relative differentials #
For a scheme X over a commutative ring R, the stalk of the sheaf of relative differentials
at x is canonically the module of Kähler differentials of the local ring 𝒪_{X,x} over R.
The comparison sends the germ of d a to the differential of the germ of a, and its inverse
has the corresponding computation rule. No finiteness, smoothness, or integrality assumption is
needed. This comparison connects local-ring regularity criteria for rational differentials
with the sheaf of differentials used to represent the canonical line bundle.
