The module of Kähler differentials for extensions of valuation rings

The main goal of this paper is to characterize the module of Kähler differentials for an extension of valuation rings. More precisely, we consider a simple algebraic valued field extension $(L\mathrm{/}K,v)$ and the corresponding valuation rings ${\text{VR}}_L$ and ${\text{VR}}_K$. In the case when $e(L\mathrm{/}K,v)=1$ we present a characterization for ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_{{\text{VR}}_L\mathrm{/}{\text{VR}}_K}$ in terms of a given sequence of key polynomials for the extension. Moreover, we use our main result to present a characterization for when ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_{{\text{VR}}_L\mathrm{/}{\text{VR}}_K}=\{0\}$.
