Exercise 30, § 5

Commutative Algebra, VIII, p. 98

Let kk be a field and AA a local, Noetherian and complete kk-algebra. We say that AA is formally smooth if, for every finite extension k′k' of kk, the ring A⊗kk′A \otimes_k k' is regular. Prove that AA is formally smooth if and only if, for every finite radicial extension k′k' of kk, the ring A⊗kk′A \otimes_k k' is regular (one may use Exer. 14, p. 96 and imitate the proof of Exer. 23, p. 97).
