β¦ Synopsis
The behavior of the Hasse-Schmidt algebra under Γ©tale extension is used to show that the Hasse-Schmidt algebra of a smooth algebra of finite type over a field equals the ring of differential operators. These techniques show that the formation of Hasse-Schmidt derivations does not commute with localization, providing a counterexample to a question of Brown and Kuan; their conjecture is reformulated in terms of the Hasse-Schmidt algebra. These techniques also imply that a smooth domain R is differentially simple. Tight closure is used to show that the test ideal is Hasse-Schmidt stable. Indeed, differentially simple rings of prime characteristic are strongly F-regular.

In this paper we investigate the relation between the multiplicity and the tight closure of a parameter ideals. We shall show that local rings having a parameter ideal whose multiplicity agrees with the colength of its tight closure are Cohen-Macaulay rings.
We construct two examples of nonexcellent local Noetherian domains which demonstrate that tight closure and completion do not commute. The first example is a local normal domain A with a height one principal prime ideal P such that ΛΕ½ . PA \* / P\*A. We also construct an example of a complete local
