Formally smooth local algebras #

The Jacobian criterion for smoothness of local algebras. Suppose S is a local R-algebra, and 0 → I → P → S → 0 is a presentation such that P is formally-smooth over R, Ω[P⁄R] is finite free over P, (typically satisfied when P is the localization of a polynomial ring of finite type) and I is finitely generated. Then S is formally smooth iff k ⊗ₛ I/I² → k ⊗ₚ Ω[P/R] is injective, where k is the residue field of S.
