Proposition 29, forward direction (auxiliary): a Noetherian local ring that is regular has its module of Kähler differentials Ω_{R/k} free over R.

Proposition 29, reverse direction (auxiliary): if Ω_{R/k} is free over a Noetherian local k-algebra R, then R is regular.

Proposition 29 (smooth ⇔ Ω is locally free): a Noetherian local k-algebra R is regular iff Ω_{R/k} is R-free. The geometric statement: a finite-type k-scheme is smooth at a point iff its sheaf of differentials is locally free there.

The forward direction of Proposition 29, extracted via the iff.

The reverse direction of Proposition 29, extracted via the iff.

Localized version of Proposition 29: for a finite-type integral domain A over k and a prime ideal 𝔭, the localization A_𝔭 is regular iff Ω_{A_𝔭 / k} is A_𝔭-free.
