How does one compute the space of algebraic global differential forms $\Omega^i(X)$ on an affine complex scheme $X$?

In 1963 Grothendieck introduced the algebraic de Rham cohomolog in a letter to Atiyah, later published in the Publications Mathématiques de l'IHES, N°29. If $X$ is an algebraic scheme over $\mathbb C$...

When is the module of Kahler volume forms torsion-free?

Let $R$ be a commutative algebra over a field $k$. Denote the $R$-module of Kahler differentials by $\Omega^1_kR$; this is the $R$-module generated by symbols of the form $da$, $a\in R$, and ...

What is the geometric significance of the definition of supermanifold?

We know that a supermanifold $M$ is a locally ringed space $(M,O_M)$ which is locally isomorphic to $(U,C^\infty(U) \otimes \wedge W^\ast)$, where $U$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $W$ is a ...

Albanese morphism induces an isomorphism on global $1$-forms

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a field $k$ of characteristic zero equipped with a point $e\in X(k)$. There is Albanese morphism $a:X\to \mathrm{Alb}\,X$ which is initial among pointed ...

Degeneration of Hodge-de Rham spectral sequence, exactness of a pairing and the trace morphism

If $X\longrightarrow S$, where $S=\operatorname{Spec}(k)$, is a proper smooth morphism of dimension $p$ between $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ schemes with Frobenius $F$, then there is an exact pairing $\wedge:\...

Does the sheaf of locally exact differential forms splitting in positive characteristic

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>2$, $X$ a smooth projective curve of genus $g>1$ over $k$, and $F_X:X\rightarrow X$ be the absolute Frobenius morphism. Let $B^1_X$ be ...

existence of meromorphic differentials with non vanishing residues

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and let $D$ be a simple normal crossing divisor on $X$, with irreducible components $D_i$. Does there exist a nonzero ...

Degeneration differential form nodal curve

I have a (possibly very basic) question about differential forms on nodal curves. After reading Witten's survey "Two-dimensional gravity and intersection theory on moduli space", I am ...

Residues and Mittag-Leffler sequence

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface, $\omega$ a meromorphic differential on $X$ and $f$ a meromorphic function on $X$ with poles only over the points $P_1,\dots,P_d$. The product $\;f\cdot\omega\;$ ...

Explicit adjunction formula and local top form

I am reading the section 4.2 in Kollar-Mori, where they provide the explicit equations for Du Val Singularities. In the course of the proof, they reduce to studying the equation $x^2+f(x,y)=0$ in a ...
