Abstract
Let be a finite or purely transcendental extension of real valued fields. We construct the associated integral cotangent and log cotangent complexes in terms of a MacLane-Vaqui\'e chain approximating . This leads to explicit formulas for associated invariants such as the (absolute) (log) different, weight norm and K\"ahler norm. As a corollary of our methods we obtain strong control of the higher homology of the integral (log) cotangent complex, generalizing an important result of Gabber and Ramero to the logarithmic setting.
