Sufficient conditions for $\mathrm{Der}_k(A)$ to be f.g. projective
Let $k$ be a field and $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra. What are sufficient conditions for the module of derivations $\mathrm{Der}_k(A)$ to be finitely generated projective?
I'm looking for conditions w …

Is the class of n-dimensional manifolds essentially small?
Already in dimension $0$, the collection of all manifolds in the sense of the OP is a proper class: any set, equipped with the discrete topology, is a $0$-dimensional manifold. In dimension $n$, one c …

Are algebras of smooth functions formally smooth?
Let $M$ be a manifold. Then is the ring of smooth functions $C^\infty(M,\mathbb{R})$ formally smooth over $\mathbb{R}$?
If it helps, feel free to assume that $M$ is compact.
(This is not a joke quest …

Do rings of smooth functions differ from rings of continuous functions?
Another conceptually interesting way to see that the answer is negative is to make the following observations (related to Tom Goodwillie's answer):
For any topological space $X$, the algebra of real- …
