Differentials on the arc space

Algebraic Geometry 2020-02-12 v3

Abstract

The paper provides a description of the sheaves of K\"ahler differentials of the arc space and jet schemes of an arbitrary scheme where these sheaves are computed directly from the sheaf of differentials of the given scheme. Several applications on the structure of arc spaces are presented.
