Formal smoothness of path algebras and connections
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $A = kQ$ the path algebra associated with a quiver $Q$. The algebra $A$ is said to be formally smooth over $k$ if
$$

Path algebras are formally smooth
In Ginzburg's notes Lectures on Noncommutative Geometry, he claim that the path algebra of a quiver is formally smooth (See Section 19.2).
I have two questions. First, how to show this claim and ...
