Definition 49.9.1. Let f : Y \to X be a flat locally quasi-finite morphism of locally Noetherian schemes. Let \omega _{Y/X} be the relative dualizing module and let \tau _{Y/X} \in \Gamma (Y, \omega _{Y/X}) be the trace element (Remarks 49.2.11 and 49.4.7). The annihilator of
\mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(\mathcal{O}_ Y \xrightarrow {\tau _{Y/X}} \omega _{Y/X})
is the different of Y/X. It is a coherent ideal \mathfrak {D}_ f \subset \mathcal{O}_ Y.
