Traces of Differential Forms and Hochschild Homology

This monograph provides an introduction to, as well as a unification and extension of the published work and some unpublished ideas of J. Lipman and E. Kunz about traces of differential forms and their relations to duality theory for projective morphisms.

Introduction. Differential forms and their traces have a long tradition in mathematics. In analysis they were used to study finite coverings of Riemann surfaces. Algebraic analogues appeared first in the theory of algebraic function fields in one variable, for example in M. Deuring's "Theorie der Korrespondenzen algebraischer Funktionenkorper II" (Journal fur die reine und angewandte Mathematik, Bd. 183, 1941) and in C. Chevalley's "Introduction to algebraic functions in one variable." These papers are strongly oriented towards the corresponding analytic theory. In particular they only consider differentials on function fields with respect to the field of coefficients, so that strong results could be achieved only in case of separable field extensions. Later E. Kunz and H. J. Nastold studied one-dimensional function fields Kl k; emphasizing the inseparable case. They showed that it is necessary to replace the field of coefficients k of K by a suitable subfield ko of k, a so-called admissible field for K / k; and to look at

differential forms of K/k o in order to get for instance a general duality theorem for function fields of dimension 1 ([KaJ, [Na]). However they still only
