Atlas.AlgebraicGeometryI.code.SmoothLocalStructure

Smoothness via Kähler differentials: a Noetherian local k-algebra R is a regular local ring iff Ω_{R/k} is R-free. Geometrically, "smooth ⇔ Ω is locally free of the expected rank".

Remark 28 (Cohen's structure theorem, complete regular local case): the 𝔪-adic completion of an n-dimensional regular local ring R is isomorphic to the formal power series ring κ[[x₁, …, xₙ]] over its residue field κ.
