A theorem for you to prove: Let B be a local ring containing a perfect field k that is isomorphic to its residue field B/m, and such that B is a localization of a finitely generated k-algebra. Then the module of relative differential forms M_B/k is a free B-module of rank equal to the dimension of B if and only if B is a regular local ring.
