1. Background on Semi-Topological Rings The exterior algebra of Ω 1 A / k over A is the differential graded (DG) k -ring � Ω i Ω A / k = A / k . i ≥ 0 The multiplication is super-commutative. The differential d extends the derivation (1.1). The DG ring Ω A / k is also called the de Rham complex of A . If A = k [ t ] , the polynomial ring in one variable, then Ω 1 A / k is a Example 1.2. free A -module of rank 1. The differential form d ( t ) is a basis. Now take the ring of formal power series A = k [[ t ]] . The first guess would be that Ω 1 A / k is a free A -module of rank 1 with basis d ( t ) . However, if k is a field of characteristic 0, this is false! The module Ω 1 A / k is not even finitely generated! Amnon Yekutieli (BGU) TLFs and Residues 4 / 34

2. High Dimensional Local Fields Let us denote by LF n k the category of n -dimensional local fields over k . It is not hard to show that any homomorphism K → L in LF n k is finite. Actually one can talk about a morphism of local fields f : K → L when dim ( K ) < dim ( L ) ; but the definition is more complicated. We get a category LF k , of which LF n k is a full subcategory.

3. Topological Local Fields 3. Topological Local Fields From here on k is a perfect field. Therefore all our local fields are now of equal characteristics. One of the reasons that we need this condition is as follows. Let K be an n -dimensional local field over k , with last residue field k ′ := k n ( K ) . Since k is perfect, the finite extension k → k ′ is separable; or in other words, it is étale. An n -fold repeated application of formal lifting (also known as Hensel’s Lemma) shows that there is a canonical homomorphism k ′ → K in the category of k -rings.
