May 4, 2022 at 19:36 comment added cos_dm_math21 Also, it seems to me that formally smooth means quasi-free in Weibel's book (page 313), not smooth
May 4, 2022 at 19:07 comment added cos_dm_math21 What made me think that these definitions are equivalent is that Whitherspoon invoke in the proof of Theorem 3.2.6 (HKR Theorem) a result from Weibel's book on smooth algebras, although she gave a different definition for this notion.
May 4, 2022 at 18:45 comment added Z. M They do not seem to be equivalent in general. The second is called formally smooth which is satisfied by, say, a polynomial algebra on infinitely many variables.
