Lemma 29.32.5. Let f : X \to S be a morphism of schemes. For any pair of affine opens \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) = U \subset X, \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) = V \subset S with f(U) \subset V there is a unique isomorphism
\Gamma (U, \Omega _{X/S}) = \Omega _{A/R}.
compatible with \text{d}_{X/S} and \text{d} : A \to \Omega _{A/R}.
Proof.
By Lemma 29.32.3 we may replace X and S by U and V. Thus we may assume X = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) and S = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) and we have to show the lemma with U = X and V = S. Consider the A-module M = \Gamma (X, \Omega _{X/S}) together with the R-derivation \text{d}_{X/S} : A \to M. Let N be another A-module and denote \widetilde{N} the quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module associated to N, see Schemes, Section 26.7. Precomposing by \text{d}_{X/S} : A \to M we get an arrow
\alpha : \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ A(M, N) \longrightarrow \text{Der}_ R(A, N)
Using Lemmas 29.32.2 and 29.32.4 we get identifications
\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{\mathcal{O}_ X}(\Omega _{X/S}, \widetilde{N}) = \text{Der}_ S(\mathcal{O}_ X, \widetilde{N}) = \text{Der}_ R(A, N)
Taking global sections determines an arrow \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{\mathcal{O}_ X}(\Omega _{X/S}, \widetilde{N}) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ R(M, N). Combining this arrow and the identifications above we get an arrow
\beta : \text{Der}_ R(A, N) \longrightarrow \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ R(M, N)
Checking what happens on global sections, we find that \alpha and \beta are each others inverse. Hence we see that \text{d}_{X/S} : A \to M satisfies the same universal property as \text{d} : A \to \Omega _{A/R}, see Algebra, Lemma 10.131.3. Thus the Yoneda lemma (Categories, Lemma 4.3.5) implies there is a unique isomorphism of A-modules M \cong \Omega _{A/R} compatible with derivations.
