Etale algebras over fields

Main results

Let K be a field, A be a K-algebra and L be a field extension of K.

• Algebra.FormallyEtale.of_isSeparable: If L is separable over K, then L is formally etale over K.
• Algebra.FormallyEtale.iff_isSeparable: If L is (essentially) of finite type over K, then L/K is etale iff L/K is separable.

This is a weaker version of of_isSeparable that additionally assumes EssFiniteType K L. Use that instead.

This is Iversen Corollary II.5.3.
