Sheaf of logarithmic differential forms

In algebraic geometry, the sheaf of logarithmic differential p-forms \Omega^p_X(\log D) on a smooth projective variety X along a smooth divisor D = \sum D_j is defined and fits into the exact sequence of locally free sheaves:

0 \to \Omega^p_X \to \Omega^p_X(\log D) \overset{\beta}\to \oplus_j {i_j}_*\Omega^{p-1}_{D_j} \to 0, \, p \ge 1

where i_j: D_j \to X are the inclusions of irreducible divisors (and the pushforwards along them are extension by zero), and β is called the residue map when p is 1.

For example,[1] if x is a closed point on D_j, 1 \le j \le k and not on D_j, j > k, then

{du_1 \over u_1}, \dots, {du_k \over u_k}, \, du_k, \dots, du_n

form a basis of \Omega^1_X(\log D) at x, where u_j are local coordinates around x such that u_j, 1 \le j \le k are local parameters for D_j, 1 \le j \le k.
