Oct 3, 2009 at 1:53 comment added Anton Geraschenko Ok, it turns out there's a problem with the calculation d(a/b)=(bda - adb)/(b^2)=0. That works for showing that the relative differentials of the fraction field over the ring are zero, but the coefficients of the right hand side of that calculation may not be in the normalization. As Charley pointed out to me, the normalization of the cusp, Spec(k[x,y]/(y^2-x^3)) is Spec(k[y/x]), but you can't write d(y/x)=(xdy-ydx)/x^2 because x/x^2 and y/x^2 are not in the normalization.
