Abstract

We show that when AA is a reduced algebra over a characteristic zero field kk and the module of K\"ahler differentials ΩA/k=0\Omega_{A/k}=0, then AA is ind-\'etale, partially answering a question of Bhatt. As further applications of this result, we deduce a rigidity property of Hochschild homology and special instances of Weibel's conjecture and Vorst's conjecture without any noetherian assumptions.
