Jul 21, 2014 at 1:50 comment added Steven Landsburg @VivekShende: But we don't need $ker(A[x]\rightarrow B)$ to be finitely generated; we just need a certain quotient of it to be finitely generated, no?
Jul 21, 2014 at 1:42 comment added Vivek Shende is finite type really enough? One has a map from the sequence $0 \to I_A \to A[\mathbf{x}] \otimes_A A[\mathbf{x}] \to A[\mathbf{x}] \to 0$ to the sequence $0 \to I \to B \otimes_A B \to B \to 0$. Then you have an exact sequence $I_A \to I \to \mathrm{coker}(I_A \to I)$ and also by the snake lemma a surjection $\mathrm{ker}(A[\mathbf{x}] \to B) \twoheadrightarrow \mathrm{coker}(I_A \to I)$. It's easy to see $I_A$ is finitely generated, but the condition that $\mathrm{ker}(A[\mathbf{x}] \to B)$ is precisely asks $B$ to be finitely presented and not just finitely generated.
Jul 20, 2014 at 22:23 comment added AYK Yes, the elements $db_i\in \Omega^1$ form a generating set. But how to go from $I/I^2$ to $I$?
Jul 20, 2014 at 22:10 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Maybe one could use that $I/I^2$ is Kähler differentials, it must be well known how the number of generators of $\Omega^1$ as a module relates to the number of generators of $B$ as an algebra over $A$...
