Let K be a function field of one variable over a perfect field k and let v be a valuation of K over k. Then is the different-divisor (Verzweigungsdivisor) of K/k(x), and (x) is the denominator-divisor (Nennerdivisor) of x. In §1 we consider a generalization of this theorem in the function fields of many variables under some conditions. In §2 and §3 we consider the differential forms of the first kind on algebraic varieties, or the differential forms which are finite at every simple point of normal varieties and subadjoint hypersurfaces which are developed by Clebsch and Picard in the classical case. In §4 we give a proof of the following theorem. Let Vr be a normal projective variety defined over a field k of characteristic 0, and let ω1, …, ωs be linearly independent simple closed differential forms which are finite at every simple point of Vr. Then the induced forms on a generic hyperplane section are also linearly independent.
