Theorem 22.14. The space $\Omega$ of Weil differentials of the function field $F/k$ is a one-dimensional $F$-vector space: $\dim_F \Omega = 1$.

∃ (f : F), f 0 ω₂ = f ω₁

Any two nonzero Weil differentials are proportional over $F$: there exists a nonzero scalar $f \in F$ with $\omega_2 = f \cdot \omega_1$.

∃ (f : F), ω = f ω₀

Every Weil differential $\omega$ is an $F$-multiple of any fixed nonzero differential $\omega_0$.

f = 0

The action of $F$ on a nonzero Weil differential is faithful: if $f \cdot \omega_0 = 0$ and $\omega_0 \neq 0$, then $f = 0$.
