Definition
Let be an algebra. An A differential of B into an -module is a map D:B\to M such that
- for all
- for
Observe that the set of all such maps is a -module. Moreover, is a representable functor; we call the representative the module of Kähler differentials. That is, satisfies the following universal property:
